TRANQUILITY
Come home, one more time
That is the way it was,
Times were tough, could have been worse
Yet we always have - hope.
Comes the day, when someone breaks,
This is also the way it is
Not looking back, and yet
The aching feeling surges thru the heart.
Wishing and praying for differences,
Yet knowing this is all part of the plan,
The lessons of life, we all must face -
To grow into spiritual beings.
My lesson was that loving
Can be beautiful to learn -
To receive as well as to give
That is total tranquility.
JOURNEY THRU TIME
As I was strolling thru my memories
I chanced to come across some feelings,
Yes feelings long lost, but not forgotten
They were all jumbled about, oozing with fear.
Yes I remember the fear of growing up
There was so much to do, so many wonderful things to do,
I was ecstatic, knowing I was going to be somebody,
It didn't last - for I stumbled and fell
Yes fell into that great well of lonliness,
Tried to climb out, to no avail
Fell back in dire despair.
Later, much later I chanced to meet
Some wonderful people, who out of the kindness of their heart,
Gave me the helping hand I so needed
Sent me on a journey I coulldn't believe.
