Thoughts try to find ground in the head
They find quicksand instead
They strive for some tangible form
To fit in some societal norm
But experiences of the past
Make the confusion last
They scatter like leaves in the wind
Thousands of forms burst and rescind –
It’s also a miasma of feeling
A jealous concealing
Of the brain’s inability to choose
And the heart’s inability [...]

Going Away
Posted in Written in 2009 on September 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
There are all kinds of words
That many people say;
But these are the words that squeeze my heart:
“Goodbye, I am going away.”
For with them comes a bittersweet feeling
That those who love undergo;
And sometimes smiles are caught
Within many a tear’s undertow.
As you step out to venture
And learn and see and sense,
There is always the hope for you
To [...]
Panic Attack

Disintegration of thought,
Like a whirlwind upon mist.
Destiny grows stark and vaguer.
It’s something despair kissed.
The world shrinks to a point of light,
In an eddy of life’s utter doom;
Panic raises its terrible wings –
The blame lies ultimately on whom?
Thought has shattered,
Pinioned under those terrible wings;
Destiny and despair coalesce,
Turning into demonic things.
They rip, shred, rape every molecule
That prods [...]

I would not call this Happiness.
I would not call this Joy.
I can call this Realisation
Which Time cannot destroy.
This State of resting in Quiet –
With no battles in Thought;
This State of Being, quaint and calm,
Which Time itself has wrought.
Quiet moments filled with Wisdom,
Mingled with Memory,
Create this quaint smile, calm the heart,
Freeing the essence of Me.
Sometimes Doubts [...]
Believe

I have given up before.
Then risen again.
I had given up again
And somewhere out of the pain
Came the resurrection.
The belief is not that everything will be okay.
The belief is different now.
I understand what the trick is.
It is all a fait-accompli.
I surrender to You:
God, Destiny, the Powers That Be.
I believe whatever will be, will be.
So in knowing [...]
