She Weeps

-
She creaks and groans
Filling the universe with her moans
Gasping, shuddering whispering sighs
Upon her we go about with our lives

Ages and eons beyond what we are
Her sound reaches the distant stars
They weep for her anguish
They sing of her pain
While we in ignorance
Dance upon her in the rain

She cries out to us for help
Shows us with gaping wounds
How we as the invader
Ignorant and full of pride
Lead her closer to her doom

Her once plush forest and grassy plains
The dense jungles drenched in misty rain
Now scars of ash, cracked skin and desert
Her crisp rivers, lakes, and blue oceans
Life filled ponds and deep spring wells
Now filled with chemicals, trash and rusting shells

The universe is witness to her horrid demise 
Watching her slow, torturous death 
Listening to the gasping, savaged cries
From her rape there is no relief
Across her face the scars run deep

We, the human are her captor 
Savage against her beauty
No longer standing in awe or rapture
Tearing asunder her life filled veins
Her abundance and flourishing gifts 
We the savage violator against creation
Life upon her meant for more generations 

She will be dead long before her time
We are the disease, parasite, pest
Against us the heavens mark our crime
Bearing witness to the tragedy
The life force slowly dies within her chest

When will our depravity end
Her salvation is in our hand
We kill her or save her
Humanity must understand
She existed long before we were
We cannot be or exist without her

Heal her wounds and dry her tears
No more hate or division through fear
Bless her days and her nights
The next generation must have new sight
Clean her waters and her land
Together we do this hand in hand
Show her hope, peace and light
Giving back is our only hope for life

A Priest's Tale of Love

Told she could not love him They told her to stay away Behind closed doors he wept Pining in the dark for her His heart breaking slowly Tears flowed to see her face Hear her voice echo again In his dark and empty space Tortured in body and heart They told him she went away Unable to love who he is now Lies they spoke he knew somehow In the country chapel, just down the lane A young woman on her knees before God Before the alter, head bowed, she prayed Grant him peace and surround him with love I cannot hold him, comfort or ease his pain Send your angels for me, whisper in his ear Let him know his true love and friend is near Faithful to her prayers and passionate pleas Each morning the priest would open the doors At the alter to her knees, she fell to the floor Patiently she waited in the chapel, listening Watching the busy lane from the window Till the sun behind the trees fell to shadow Moved by her faith, her love and honesty

Dear reader, I have for the last few months found myself struggling to put upon the page the revelations I have come into.  So many changes in my life rendered me unable to reign in my scattered thoughts enough to put them in a cohesive form.  I find myself tonight finally finding the internal dialogue flowing and felt I should take advantage of this state as much as possible before it evades me once again.  I ask for your patience as I do my utmost to put before you, my thoughts.  Because, as many rabbit trails as my mind may possess, what follows may seem to you without conclusion or may seem disjointed and without a connection. A new revelation of what it means to be 'unconditional' came to me one afternoon after I read an article concerning judgment.  This article created a new understanding in me concerning the state of being 'unconditional.'  It is this - to be unconditional one must be able to accept all in their present moment as they are without expectation

It's Been A While

I know it has been a long while since my last posting.  I have been lost and am slowly finding my way out of the darkness.  Losing my mother has been the hardest thing I have ever walked through.  The main reason is that my mom was my grounding and shield.  I did not realize how much I depended on her presence in my life, whether I was with her or not.  The very knowledge that she existed brought such peace to my soul. I knew I could pick up the phone and hear her voice anytime I wished. I could see her whenever I wanted.  She was here. When she became sick, and I moved to take care of her, it was helplessness I could never have imagined. To watch someone I love die slowly and know there was nothing I could do to stop it was debilitating. I could only make her life as comfortable as possible. Dementia is cruel and horrifically unkind. After we had to say goodbye, I was utterly lost. I couldn't save my mom. She was gone. The regrets, waisted time, 'should-haves' and 'cou
