614. Dawn

When I take my last breath,

All the moments of this life shall seem,

As nothing more then the death,

Of a long, yet fleeting dream.

For dreams, they drift away,

As the mind awakens…fade to dust.

Lost in the eternal fray,

They perish, as all dreams must…

So we can greet the day.

611. Extant

Why are you screaming little one, little one?

Why are you hiding in the dark? Come. Come.

He can not hurt you…not anymore, not anymore.

The world left you for dead,

But God opened a door.

Why are you crying little one, little one?

Why are you huddled in the dark? Come. Come.

Time has passed by and the sun has arose…has arose.

The world left you for dead,

Yet the Light only grows!

Why are you frozen little one, little one?

Why are you standing in the dark? Come. Come.

Close your eyes, take a step, look and then see…look and see,

The world left you for dead,

Though you live eternally!

610. Appreciative Depreciation

I forget I’m human all the time…

That I have a voice,

And a say,

And although things won’t always go my way,

That I can speak out, and have a choice.

I forget I’m human all the time…

Yet, I’ve decided…

It’s okay.

It’s just a human body anyway;

And we’re more than where we’ve resided.

I forget I’m not human sometimes…

That I am a soul,

And not bone,

And it’s normal to feel lost and alone…

As we journey, mere sparks of a whole…

Universe.

604. Empowerment

Evil urgently seeks validation:

“Come hither, join,…agree,”

And grasps to near suffocation,…

Human souls, so desperately.

While Good needs no validation at all,

And ‘lone stands resolute.

For human hearts all know the call,

Of the morally absolute.

So stand alone…proud and strong. Do what’s right!

Strength is not in numbers,

Rather it’s in the Brightest Light,

To which darkness writhes and cowers.

For evil depresses,…

Good empowers.

585. That Which No One Seeks

That, which no one seeks,

Will never be found.

Who will seek for life,

With death all around?

For who will search for answers,

When ignorance is bliss?

Who will want the answers,

When death seals with a kiss?

That, which no one seeks,

Will never be found.

Who will claim the stars,

When they’re on the ground?

Who will ask the questions,

Which no one dares to ask?

And who will look for answers,

Beyond their human mask?

That, which no one seeks,

Will never be found.

Who will seek for light,

With gloom all around?

For life fades so quickly,

And time is not our friend.

It’s said: “Live…Thinking is sickly!”,…

“You don’t matter when you end”.

That which no one seeks,

Will never be found.

Too late,…the soul you seek,…

Is eternally unbound,…

…..Too late,….they can’t be found….
