New Life…

image

As I open the door that I had closed long ago

Regret remorse and bitter sadness burn like acid deep into my soul

War raged for many years

I fainted for lack of hope

I was conquered by the darkness

A Prisoner of whom I did not know

My fight was fought in vain

Awakened by a moment of clarity

While lying in the rain

Only to find a space in time

That was no longer mine

Consumed in fear for knowledge

Of what I had become

Truth grabbed my heart with both fists tightening as I cried

What had happened to everything I knew

My light and truth had died

A blinding pain rebuked vision from my eyes

My spirit screamed at the sight of me

Demanding an answer as to why

I knew at that moment that light had left my side

As I mourned and loathed my very existence

Knowing I could no longer hide

A heart of stone softened by the tears that I cried

A warm breeze a caressing of hope

persuading me to forgive

And love myself again or maybe

For the first time…

RETURN TO LOVE

The book, “Return to Love,” by Marianne Williamson, has profoundly influenced my life. It’s changed my entire perspective on religion vs.spirituality.
If anyone is struggling with religion this book will help improve their tolerance and love, for not only themselves, which is first foremost of importance, but their view of the entire world.
The importance for taking responsibility to enhance our own spiritually is the key to living a fulfilling life. We can retire from blaming religion for our lack of unwillingness to learn how we can, “return to love.”

Here are a few excerpts from the book,

1.) Love in your mind produces love in your life. This is the meaning of Heaven. Fear in your mind produces fear in your life. This is the meaning of hell.

2.) “…a miracle is a reasonable thing to ask for.”

3.) “Do what you love.
Do what makes your heart sing.
And NEVER do it for the money,
Go to work to spread joy.”

5.) “When infants aren’t held, they can become sick, even die. It’s universally accepted that children need love, but at what age are people supposed to stop needing it? We never do. We need love in order to live happily, as much as we need oxygen in order to live at all.”

Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of “A Course in Miracles”

Sleeping…

image

While you were sleeping

I saw you in my dream

Your eyes were closed

Your heart had been eaten

I was awakened by

The echoes of your scream

image

I was there remember?

Lies cannot escape light

Anymore than truth can

Escape the darkness of

Them that condemn

The laws of the Universe demand!

Darkness roamed the earth

For seven thousand years

While sewage over flowed

With the reaper’s empty tears

wasted years…

Drifted

Off

the

Clouds

In

My

Dreams

And

Fell

Into

An

Empty

Black

Space

Of

Time

Where

Black

Holes

Are

Unforgiving

But

Wait…

It

Was

Only

A

Dream

Or

Maybe

A

Nightmare
