The rise&fall of volcanoes
Of mountains
Of eagles
Of whales
Of waves
Of man
Of living life
Valley2crest

Inescapable

...

The decision is
Completely urs alone
So2wil b the consequences
The results
& contentment/regret
Choose VERY wisely
While u can

...

Sometimes its hard
2look in the mirror& like wat I c
Sometimes its hard
To let go& just be free
Separate from society
Just me

@ a lake
Watchin the sunset &moonrise
Reflections on the glass surface
The turn of the planet
Is rejoicing
W a glass of moonshine

...

A toast
W this glass of moonshine
2our Incredible Creator
2the Miracle of Living
2the Glory of Love
CHEERS!
I'l drink2that :-)

...

My fingetips unite
A soft kiss between left & right
Of commitment
Of ritual
Of faith & hope
In prayer
May others folo
Not fight

...

In the amphitheatre of the universe
W the audience of planets
W da sound by pulsars
W da lightin by stars
Shooting stars delight

...


Yes&no
Here we go
Once again
No direct answer
2a simple questn:
R u happy?
Ur indecision means
No
Y else wud da word feature?

...

Yes&no
The truth of life
The dichotomy of reality
Yes bcoz we now know love
No bcoz we've yet to grow out of pain

...


Wat a questn 2ask
How we should be?
Joyful
Faithful
Hopeful
Trustwrthy
Kind
Loving.
Should is da catch

It shouldnt b a choice

...

U walkd past her today
Stood nxt2him
That quiet 1
That loud 1
Blonde1, brunette
All praying:
"Lord pls let some1
Notice me"

...

I tweet
I blog
I pray
I wait
I hope
I work
I get up & try
Over & over & over again
Maybe
1 day
Some will...
Notice me

...

4years I went on
Pushd hard
Conquerd
&slowly lost my go
Had2stop
Exhausted
2tired2think
Forced
2b stil
2find
My Tranquil mind

...


Said in jest
Repeated in gossip
Posted in ignorance
Filtered into victims consciousness
Damaged
By a sharp-toothed rumour

...

The sharp-toothed rumour
Was said first
Then written
Then published
Then deemed truth
Now people kill for it

I find those last 2 stanzas very telling, Shannan. How hate can be provoked by guesswork, lies, or even jest as you say. Rhiannon

Sadly, many people whom I have interacted with take everything they are fed from whomever & believe it to be absolute truth :-( ... so few will take the time & energy needed to go to the source. Have a blessed week $
