Haiku III

There was dusk and dawn
Light fading and flourishing
It is never gone

Haiku II

When I lost my light
I reached for you to show me
The light within me

Haiku

Let me feel it all
Then bottle it up and never
Feel that way again

What Do I Believe?

It is easy to believe

The world has gone insane

The headlines prove it

Another terrorist hit

An illness has struck

We have become stuck

In despair

Because from where

Will salvation come

We look to the mountains

Those massive problems

Catastrophes

And think

There is no way to go on

But every mountain

Has a summit

And if you want it

You can read the top

And see from above

How every road leads home

And every calamity

Has a remedy
But we are still stuck

Climbing

But through this journey

Of darkness

Madness

Insanity

I believe

That we will receive

The redeemer

At the top

We never stopped

Praying

And waiting

For his return

Despite the pain

The destruction

Terror

We will hold on

To what we believe

And what I believe in

A Scattered Heart

There is a piece of me

Scattered in every place

I left a shred of my heart

Where I shared my heart

With strangers

The places

That led me to danger

Because an open heart

Can be a dangerous thing

But with you

Who took without asking

And gave more than I could ever imagine

You showed me

How true love is a priceless thing

And that is it something to share with the world

So across the sea

And up a mountain

I let you have

A part of me

I split my heart

And locked you deep inside

Beneath the layers of questions

And unconditional caring

There you will find

The places

I call home

With the people

I call family.
