Horrors Be

Horrors be 
can’t take them
away
away from the head 
they stay  
mentally. 

The body will heal 
but 
the spirit, the soul
keep 
those things into
eternity. 

We know we must 
must let them
go 
throw them away 
don’t let them
crush 
your spirit
your kind soul. 

Today, just today 
let them go 
no more in your head 
to fester
create dread 
let them go, let them go
instead.

Crises Come

Crises come
Monopolizing the mind
The spirit
Everything in the universe
Anything
Not tied down tight.

What has happened?
Why?
No answers come
Questions only
They hang in the frigid, cold
Unforgiving sky.

Do your best
Do what’s correct
What’s right
Maybe then the world will smile
Grass turn a brilliant green
And stars shine a guiding light
On everything.

Still Silence Stands Quietly By

Still silence stands quietly by
While my heart sings a tender lullaby
Strands of caring gently caress my soul
Now no more alone
My spirit reaches and it soars.

Before The Trials Of The Day Takeover

 

 

 

 

Before the trials
Of the day takeover
Touch down
And feel the spirit
Of your soul.

Know where today
For today
You are.

Go forward
With that knowledge
Forward to forever.

Spirit Glowing, Burning Bright

Spirit glowing, burning bright
Threading through the dark of night.
Touching many with power’s might
Spreading darkness with clear, bright light
Bringing joy, making right.

May I know the kind and gentle
Guiding me through awful night.
Feel the glowing spirit bright.

You Are Beautiful

You are beautiful.

You are beautiful in mind.

You are beautiful in body.

You are beautiful in spirit.

You are beautiful.
