Am I Nothing
Because I have Nothing
Or am I Everything
With Nothing Needed
-----(Break)-----
Being Speaks
Gently
Continuously
Rhythmically
Felt with every Word
Love in every Sound
Speaking an Universal Language
Carried within us All
----------
Do Not Take Love's
Name in Vain
The Sacredness Love Carries
The Truth Love Embodies
The Imprint Love Creates
Echos through Time
Remembers Your Intent
Rebounds the Energy Given
With twice the Honesty
----------
True Pain is
Reflected
Not Inflicted
----------
Speak for Yourself
Speak for Your Heart
Speak for Your Soul
Speak for Your Truth
Speak
Or Others will Speak for You
----------
I am finding Myself
In Time
In Space
In Truth
In Love
Walking the path I
Would want Myself to have
----------
The Answer
Rests Within
Call it Awake
With Your Heart
----------
Passion is a Fire
You either feed it
Into a bellowing Roar
Or
Allow it to dwindle
Into an ashened Whisper
----------
Listen Gently
You are Calling
Your reality
Into Existence
----------
The Way You take
My Breath away
Makes Me Forget I
Ever
----------
Do not Fear Pain
It is Painful
To be in Fear
Of what
Grows the Soul

No Concept of Time
The calm river, wildly adorned with shrubbery, flows through a dense forest. Trees that have been forcefully uprooted by the river's once drunken rage relax on their sides, silent relics to a time that has long passed, laying their firm testimony across the young saplings who stretch eagerly toward the foamy sea sky. Absorbing every inch of sunlight that slips through their parents protective canopy fingers. The wind sings a sweet scent symphony through thick branched arms, coaxing leaves to leap gracefully upon the melody, dancing whole-hearted at their opportunity to demonstrate the routine they've each prepared. Spinning precariously around each other, exchanging partners as they sway, to bow respectively at the final note moment when they reach the ground. A creative arrangement of color that range from lush green to smoldering red, resembling stain glass, twigs and soil being the fullness inbetween. The lucky few who have been enabled to participate in the second act swirl and glide at the will of the gentle river, who conducts in time to the trickling whisper and shallow gurgling murmured by the entranced audience of rocks in which they pass by. Some leafs being reunited in still-pool pockets where tadpoles play and mosquitoes skate merrily in intricate patterns, which they refuse to repeat more than once. The rays of sun that bounce off the soft surface allure the eye of a wandering fawn, drawn toward the gleaming rainbow light seems to make in passing, cautiously inspecting the authenticity of serenity this humbly moving forest displays. Only after a slight double check does curious life allow it's warm nose to kiss the velvet water, drinking greedily from the rivers abundantly giving body. The crash of a distant tree falling shatters the surreal scene, jolting the young animal from her vulnerable daze, sending her springing into the thicket from which she came. Dashing past lazy squirrels, slumbering peacefully within the confines of their trees, and busy bees, who dully notice anything beyond their own reality, to finally be reunited with eagerly waiting guardians. They make off home at a quickened pace while chastising the adolescent for the potential danger that could have struck. The fawn barely listens to the wise words her watcher's part with as adrenaline wears away, still thinking back to the enchantment she discovered. When the fading echo is strained to be heard, a blanket of bliss gently falls back into practice, careful in design and forever free from the hands of time.
