Pain has a way of blinding our sight and leading our blind
We live in a darkness that may never become light
Where those we love are lost
And those we lost aren't loved

Sometimes we lose sight
of the goal set in mind
Sometimes we lose track
of the purpose to life

If everything had an answer
If everything could rhyme
Then my poetry would be in order
and always in good time

Sometimes life calls us to a moment of silence
to look outside
to see the life
to lose our noise
to realize our silence

Silence is poetic
Thought is a song
Life is in the words in between
where the order is lost
and the knowledge is gone

"But I cry to you for help, O Lord;
in the morning my prayer comes before you.
Why, O Lord, do you reject me
and hide your face from me?

From my youth I have been afflicted and close to death;
I have suffered your terrors and am in despair;
Your wrath has swept over me;
your terrors have destroyed me.
All day long they surround me like a flood;
they have completely engulfed me.
You have taken my companions and loved ones from me;
the darkness is my closest friend."

For if all was logical
For if all was true
I would be a better person
And no hurt would have come to you

What about the life there is
How can we only say
That what we see is all there is
It isn’t the only way

Looking down from above
You cannot truly see
The life inside, the world inside
That makes it so worthy


Where do we live?
In a world full of love?
Where everything is a blessing
And sent from above?

Reality takes hold
when all else fails to form
sometimes we hurt those around us
sometimes we can't see the answer
until all is too late

Why must we always be in pain?
why can't we run free from the cages that capture us?

where are we to go?

can we live in our minds forever?
To abandon the world outside?

Anger cannot cure us
Pain cannot feed us
Solitude is not safety
For safety is an illusion

where are we to go?

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts , always hopes, always perseveres."

where are we to go?

"Love never fails"




There, I said it all.
