Beauty
Feathered in white
Discounts one dressed in black
Who blends with ebony bridges
Alas
Breathing in the lasting moment
Perfumed with lilac scent
Ultimate peace
Repose

A home built high
Upon a tree
Once held the young
Now sits, empty
They’ve flown away
A world to see
Oh how I wish
They, were me
I’d fly above
This world, unrest
A silent tear
Shed on my quest
Then cry aloud
At my own behest
Won’t someone join me
In this nest?
Where we can heed
From one, above
The somber coo
Of a mourning dove
Who fears humanity
All hate, thereof
She prays that Earth
Will find her love
Where once a man
Was born, so free
Taking pride in all
This majesty
Let’s fly away
Perhaps we’ll see
Just how beautiful
This world could be

How shall I dream
While the world awakens
Touched by sun’s luminous rays
Waterfalls flow, in misty white haze
How shall I dream
While the world is alive
Subtle soft breezes gather my cloth
Babbling brooks, covered with froth
How shall I Dream
While the world flourishes
Flora abounds, in delicate scents
Filling my senses, with lasting content
How shall I dream
While the world shows its beauty
Eyes open wide, like never before
Artistry captured, with gentle rapport

Talk to me, I can ease your pain
I promise, he won’t hurt you again
No more hands, will strike you down
This cruelty ends, when hope abounds
Protect your heart, from this agony
And finally breathe, let your spirit free
To live your life, unafraid of the dark
Where brutality can no longer leave a mark
Find the place, to let your soul arrive
Somewhere, anywhere, you will survive!
He cannot hurt what he doesn’t own
You, one so beautiful, must not condone
Who you are, praise, what you become
Rid yourself of that which leaves you numb
It’s in you, seek out your true happiness
Forget about him, and all his crappiness
Remember these words, no more need for dread
Never again, shall you fear, where monsters tread
***On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men.*** (National Coalition Against Domestic Violence)
