The Journey

Sometimes…
Miracles occur when darkness ends
Some special person, lover, friend –
A light at the endless tunnel’s end.

Sometimes…
Life plays magick tricks on you
The world is dark, life is blue;
God sends help, you get through.

Sometimes…
My mind’s adrift, my soul is lost,
Nights are misery, days overcast;
Get through it: it’s all in the past.

Sometimes…
The winds, they change, from frisky to foul;
A work of art, twisted – God’s mural.
The skies clear, sun shines, rains fall.

Sometimes…
Everything goes as I had planned –
Another time, another day, another land…
I grasp my life in the palm of my hand.

Lessons of Life

When everything else in the world goes wrong:
No hope nor love, cheer nor song;
When there’s no one who cares to help –
That is when you turn to yourself.

Our minds, our thoughts move god’s hands
Like paltry winds that shift Sahara’s sands.
You are what you want to be;
As you sow, so you reap.

There is the man who says that, “If
I know not how, how may I live?
Nor will I try to – yet, I shall grow,
But off the sweat of another’s brow.

To carry the burden of one who feeds
Off your blood, ignoring your needs;
Cast him out so he may learn
To fall, then stand- to toil, and earn.

Mistakes you’ve made, purgatory you’ve faced.
Today, be better than what you’ve been.
Dream of what you cannot imagine;
Tomorrow be greater than what you’ve seen.
