...once upon a nightmare

I lived in fear for so long, 

that I almost forgot what

 it was like to live without it. 

~

Sometimes the truth is ugly.

~

No one can compare their own 

personal hell, nor should they.

My Thoughts

Simply because we have not experienced,

does not give us proof of existence or not.

~

Each step away from love ,
is a step closer to hell.

~

Love is not a concept of man...love is merely
the seeds which are spewed from the soul.

~

Our responsibility begins with self and

overflows as an extension of love.

~

Allowing peace into your heart allows you to understand
that the power of change is not a gift from another,
but the alteration of our own actions and
the responsibility we take.

~

There are those who believe they are at the mercy of the powerful,and yet no one has more power than another person on earth, for power is just a concept of thought, given by those who believe they have none.

~

A weak thread breaks under pressure,

therefore we should tighten the weave with stronger threads.

~

Attaining knowledge means very little unless you share it.

~

I am missing you!!!!!

Why is it that part of me wants to run and another part to hide?

Poetry..just being me

Here I am ageless and sometimes silly as can be, where I dance with happiness across the blue of the sea. I don't have to think, work here waits for me, because when I write on this page, I am simply me just being me.

Sadness is indeed derived from thought of his lies,

but truth surfaces from the eye of experience.

The Price of Peace

Being a mother of sons, it brings war even closer to home. When my first son joined the military, I had moments of great pride in watching him return to the states from his many deployments. It was at that time that I wrote " In a Mothers Eyes" My fourth born Nicholas is now in the Marines at Parris Island and I find myself again with mixed emotions.

In this world there is surely a clear view of the good and bad. It is amazing that if someone believes it so, deems it worthy, they themselves can declare that their fight is right. I can't I imagine how the taking of innocent lives in any form can have any righteous tone to it at all. There are times that like a rat backed into a corner we fight to defend and even still it leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Imagine for one moment a world without greed, absent of power, void of hate, erased of despair and no fear in the air. Working together to better the earth, to help the weak and nourish from birth. Reach to the heavens and through the universe explore, the notion that beyond what we know there is so much more.

From the first time I held him,

to the first smile on his face,

I knew that he would mature

and he would find his place.

Behind my eyes are tears, for that

which we have no control. Man

always thinks he's right, well

we know that's not always so.

Defense may be an option that

we must uphold, but I think

some how greed is what makes

this world so cold.

Strengthen the spirit, cleanse the mind, and build upon the heart, to create what love defines. Happiness and joy, the beauty of the day, the magic of life that brings unity in the most amazing way.

Balance is the key for it

unlocks the insight to reality.

The reality of it is that we have one perfect planet

called earth with less than perfect inhabitants.

`

The other side of the journey,

if we lay like lambs,

we welcome the slaughter.

Oh Lord, keep him safe he is young and naive, he stands brave to protect us as many of are so weak. Decisions are many, made by a man, to defend the freedoms across the land.

Every letter I have written, everyone I've recieved, is imprinted with the spirit and tomorrows dreams. Every song I sing, every song that is sung back, is filled with reminders of how to live and laugh.
