Abruptly Awakened 3/2015

If you didn't point it out,
I would have no doubt.  

If you would have allowed me to remain blind,
I would have lived with it just fine.

If you would have let my heart sleep,
I would not have felt every beat.

You won't stop shaking me awake.
You won't let me be numb to fate.

Why must you challenge my fear?
Why must you wake up my tears?

I was content with waiting for paradise somehow,
But you just had to tell me that paradise was now!  

Why did you wake me up so forcefully?

My eyes are wide open even if it happened with a ball of fire.
Everyday I can walk around awake now,
I don't have to wait until I retire.  

Come, let's celebrate.  
We have discovered heaven on earth.
Rarely is it discovered - 
Love in the fourth dimension.

But why do I feel like we will be awaken abruptly once more?
Like we have dimensions yet to be discovered or explored? 

Love in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth......
Wow, wouldn't that be great?

Technological Black Hole

In a world of millions but don't know a soul. 
A million smiles, a million hellos, a million photos. 
A million of everything but still feel so cold. 
Damn this world, a technological black hole. 

How do you do? 
As they walk right past you. 
Won't stop long enough for you to ever get through. 

So back in your shell you go. 
What good is a million smiles when not a single soul you know? 

Phone in their face, can't see you wear are frown. 
Only if they stopped to take a selfie will they notice your face is down. 
At least you thought they did, but that was all fake. 
As they looked up and said, "You didn't smile, we have to retake."

Not a single soul will stop long enough for you to respond, "Hello," but can you really blame them when to them you are invisible? 

You walk away the same and say, "Actually, I'm not ok today," but your reply was taken by the wind who's now become your only friend.  

Wake-up!


I wrote that poem a few years ago. I saw this video that reminded me of it and I have decided to share it. The message from the video is "Disconnect to Connect". I couldn't agree more!

Here I stand

Here I stand. I'm spiritually cut open into a million pieces. All that I thought I knew bleeds out. My body is emptied of any memories of the past. Like autumn trees, I let go of everything dead. Fill this empty shell back only with the spirit I was born with. Wash away the stench of this world. It can be so cruel. So hard. I'll let all of that bleed out of me on this altar. Let the only thing remain be the root of what you planted in me in my mother's womb. I came with it and I will leave with it. Wash me clean of everything else. You are the water to my soul. All I know is who I am. All I will leave with is who I am. All I am is all that you are. I'm finally fine with only being that and only leaving as that. My life would have been lived GRAND with being that alone. Nothing less than that. I'm content with being made by love of love. I'm content if I'm the only one that knows this truth. This is not my final resting place. When I go home I only care to see your face. So, every night as I stare in the mirror, take me home to the center of my soul. As I stare at all that I am, I hope to also stare at all that you are. Here I stand. I'm yours. Do as you please.
