I’m drawing in the sand,
the anger which has no name,
here for just a moment and an eternity
a precious soul laid out to sea,
washed away so easily,
foolishly dreamt to catch the breeze
Only to find the heir of despair
contemplation, suffocating me,
drawing in the sand.

Sometimes you have to yield to the unreasonable, because of love. To go beyond that which is just, is the very nature of love. But in the midst of doing this, do not lose sight of the One true Love; and balance all against this standard, regardless of what the expected outcome might be. May you always have faith enough to let go, and allow God.

A society, by definition, is a system of controls in which only socialpaths are free. So, we all are servants to some perceived greater good. The real question is, who or what do we serve? A simple question, and yet the biggest mystery of our lives.

Listen…
I’ve spoken too much without listening. A product and prisoner of western thought, I’ve focused too much on changing things, rather than being changed.
Even if I know the utter truth, it matters not, given that I am not pure and taint every word that proceeds from my lips. The love I want to share is held captive to my own imperfections.
And if by some divine intercession, I find an unfiltered moment of light, what then?
How do I survive this world so, in such a state of being?
How do I hold on, and yet let go, that I might become?
I Listen.

Where would I go, that does not bring me back to you?
I look at you, and I am struck blind by what I cannot see. And yet, I seek.
I listen to you, and I am left deaf by what I cannot hear. And yet, I harken to your call.
I speak with you, and I am dumb for what I cannot say. And yet, I converse with angels.
You give everything and still I am empty.
Wanting.
The curse of every man. A void that this world cannot fill.
Longing.
For what I do not know. The impenetrable depths of this riddle called my life confound me.
Choosing.
Faith over Despair, I take another breath and live.
