Where is She?

Can you find her?

Do you seek her unsurpassed beauty?

Where is her song?

Can you hear it?

Are you listening for her sweet and strong melody?

Where is her bounty?

Can you taste it?

Are you hungry for her feast?

Where is her eternal fountain?

Can you see it?

Are you thirsty for her intense and cool waters?

If you seek her you will find her

She is there

Hiding in the crevices of The Rock

There, in the shade of The Glory

There, a piece, in the corner of your heart

A gift from the One who made you.

To see a glimpse of her face,

will end your lonely searching

To hear a note of her song,

will soothe your most intense longings

To have even a taste of her fruits,

will satisfy your deepest hunger.

Where is She? Can you find her? Do you seek her?

If You Need Me

If you need Me

I am here

though you may not see me

dreaming

longing

breathing

watching

I am here

though you may not feel me

listening

waiting

caring

touching

I am here

though you may not love me

daring

hoping

trying

loving

I am here

though you may not know me

living

sharing

needing

knowing

Please know that

I am here.

Like time and stars,

the sky and the sea,

I am here, and always will be.

Victory

Victory

The true victory to be had

Is when the Empire of our minds

crumble to dust

When we vanquish the foes

of doubt and of fear

When the starry mass of our thoughts are brought together

under the One True Star

When our battle worn hearts can take shelter in the fortress of

Faith and Divine Love

We surrender as His Conquests

we raise our guilt- stained bloody flags

white as snow

He is Victorious

We are Free

Together for Eternity

You Were There

You were there

It was there

small and fragile

It was there

hopeful and waiting

It was there

fighting but failing

To Thrive

It was there

But now

it is gone

I miss it

without ever knowing

what it would have been

I wonder

looking back now

how it might have changed me

I still cry

for the loss of it.

For the emptiness inside

It was there

But now

It is gone.

I don't know that I ever said goodbye

or ever will be able to...

so Goodbye for now, till the next time

My heart becomes heavy

with the weight of your absence

You were there,

But now you are gone

Goodbye-

for now.

My Child.

Must It Die

When It has yet

to flourish

to bloom

to grow

to climb

Must it be Hidden

when it has yet

to be seen

to be known

to be admired

to be shown

Must It be Snuffed out

When it has yet

to shine

to glow

to warm

to burn

Must It be Killed

When It has yet

to live

to breathe

to sense

There is Beauty

There is Beauty

There is beauty beneath

There is peace beyond

beneath what is hideous

beyond what is madness.

For in the heat of battle

Hope can be tasted-

like sweet honey

on the bitter tongues of the war wearied.

There is a promise of

reconciliation after transgression,

restoration after despair,

resolution after conflict.

So, don't be afraid of what is bad.

Embrace it-

long enough to learn, that

out of it, comes the true good.

Don't cower from what is painful

For IT is what makes us strong.

There is beauty beneath

There is true love beyond.

Let us find it together-

You and I.
