If we forget hope
When our world is too intense
Life becomes a mess

Drawing new life, from the universe
I remove the madness, end the curse
Shine, in my own spiritual light
Earth below me, a glorious sight
Sends up fire, to brighten the dark
In my soul, ever creating, a spark
A flare in the sky, exploding with power
This is my one, though not, final hour
To make good, for all I have sinned
My life, total chaos, the perfect whirlwind
Now calms, with the stars, sparkling bright
Transcending my thoughts, deep into night
Awakened refreshed, the burden, now lifted
My reminder that God, this life, He has gifted
To me, and only me, to discover my worth
Before my life ends, tis my living rebirth

Overwhelmed by simple tasks
What is this I have become?
Sadness, behind my smiling mask
Truth is… I am feeling numb
Emotional, at the slightest change
Tears flow, and for no reason
Even to myself, I feel quite strange
Perhaps, it is that time of season
Where leaves once painted the trees
Now they lay, lifeless and brown
I watched them whirl, in the breeze
On their way, swiftly, falling down
I can relate to the leaves, you see
I’ve spiraled with them, for so long
Much like a twister, roaming free
Yet, unknowing if I truly belong

I carved myself a window
Chiseled away the hardened earth
Just in time to catch the light
Of a fiery sun’s rebirth
Orange painted clouds rejoiced
As the rays chased away the night
Flocks of feathered creatures
Took off, on a journey, aflight
As for me, I sat in awe and wonder
Watching, as day took its place
And colored my eyes with majesty
All this, through my own little space

I
Am one.
A simple
Yet complex root.
With new beginnings,
I plant my feet, and grow.
The mighty earth, under me
Nourishes my very being,
Nurturing my heart, however brief;
Until the moment I breathe my last breath
And I become one with the earth, again
Mixed in the soil, of a thousand years
Below the ground, where I once stood
Strong, and unwavering, though
At times, I would quiver
Much like leaves, in spring
Wishing for life
To return
Within
Me
