LIFE IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE

LIFE IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE

You are gone,
living your life
in a parallel universe
where our hands
and our lips
never touch.
You speak,
I hear your voice
but the words are strange
and I don’t understand.
I sing,
but the melody gets lost
in the space
and the words garbled
by time.
I see you
as if reflected
by a mirror of my own creation.
Nothing else has changed,
your days are still the same.
The only thing missing
is me.

SILENCE OF LIFE

SILENCE OF LIFE

It begs for laughter
instead of tears.
It cries for justice
instead of fears.
Longing for peace
seeing only war,
the silence of life -
the space we're looking for.

It is in the silence
that we have choice.
It is in the silence
where we find our voice.
Finding our wings
we now take flight,
the silence of life
brings darkness to light.

04.20.12 THIS SPECK OF EARTH

THIS SPECK OF EARTH

I live
this one moment
in time
breathing
this one bit of air
standing
on this one speck
of earth.

One day
I shall be
gone
but the air
will still move
and this one
speck of earth
will remain.

Life of the Divine fills me

pieces of life forgotten
