Walk

Walk down the path
You see trees, flowers, and small things
Never noticing what's beyond
Never noticing what's before

Walk down the path
It darkens and the living descends upon you.
Tighter your path becomes
Tighter your desires; your ambitions

Walk down the path
You see a light
Further it escapes
Further from liberation

Walk down the path
It loosens slightly, and then tightens again
Dejected you become
Rejected you choose to be

Walk down the path
You hear a sound, a guiding yet difficult voice
Afraid of following, the unknown, the unattractive
Afraid of not going and stumbling

Walk down the path
Still your heart; pick out the voice
Hear the sound; Listen to the words
Trail it; Walk towards it

Walk down the path
Strong heart; believing
Strong mind; discerning
Strong body; walking...

Walk down the path

Silence
Unintentional, yet intentional
Personal, yet more impersonal
Again on this path I tread
Again on this path I am place

My sunlight, my moon
Right yet wrong
Seemingly eager, yet more withhold
Again this face I see
Again this face I'm given

I run towards the end
I jump out of the path
I build ram, I build guns,
I build whatever else seemed able to get me through
Again the irritation I see
Again the irritation I experience

Pain and the hurt
The sun burns out and the moon loses her light
Pain and the hurt
I am dragged along and bled
Again rain falls
Again rain never stops

Anger and rage
Burning and cooling, burning and cooling
Was there something else churning?
Or existing displeasure of the dead star?
Again we walk this path
Again we never spoke

Again the silence

Sing to the birds
Sing to the trees
Sing to the people
All around me

See the days
See the times
See the future
That's to come

Open your eyes
Open your ears
Open your hearts
To those you hold dear

Speak your truth
Speak your feeling
Speak your heart out
No more avoiding

Accept the present
Learn the past
Fight the future
Live hard

Follow the light
Follow the spirit
Follow the direction
The narrow path

May the Lord giude all of us in this year, leading us to do more than we have ever done, allowing us to experience more of Him that we ever did.

Life is about moments.
It comes and goes
Never waiting
Never stopping

One moment is all you have
Then it is lost
Seize the moment
Or you may regret it once it departs

Opportunities to love
Opportunities to change
All it takes is one moment
Don't let it slip by

Past moments, good or bad
Are long gone and learnt
Live not in past moments
But seek those of the future

Face yourself
Face past joys and sadness
Face past failures and anguish
Yet arise refreshed and anew

The Lord be with you, and may your life be ever more fulfilling and lovely.

Silently
Sweetly
Constantly
Lovingly

Never making known
Never seeking return
Never wanting to dash the dream
Of the piece of glass

Gliding over the fields
Trudging beneath
Smiling on the clouds
Crying in pain in the soil

Never to be returned
Never to be known
Never to be seen
The sand around the glass

Cuddling to the Father
Love so divine
The sand speaks forth
What then, before i die...

A gift of chocolate
Cherished and hidden
Hidden and forgotten
Lost

A gift of relationship
Cherished and hidden
Hidden and ignored
Lost

Dreams
possessions of men
Dreams
temptations of the heart
Dreams
happiness and sadness
Dreams
awaits fulfillment

Fulfillment
lose something you hold
Ignorance
lose contentment
Negligence
lose inner peace
Obsession
lose yourself

Balance
Enhance? or just disrupts?
