Flickered Out

The light of realization

Always flares in spite of resistance

Flicker in and out

But shines in indignation

Men and women lead revolt

Fueled by waves of their emotions

Carrying anger and rage for others

Flailing arms and screaming mouths

Drowning in the ocean

They must needs justification

So they cry for Justice

War paint on faces

Only to be led even further astray

Down the path of their own way

Ignorance is not bliss

As some ignorant would say

It is merely a distraction

From facing and dealing with the pain

We put on masks just like a clown

Set flames to the edges watch the whole place burn down

And all for what?

Fear is a repercussion of 

Having no enlightenment

It comes from choosing to remain 

in a blanket of darkness

Hatred

Anger and

Bitterness

It hates the light

Because the Light displaces darkness

And gives not 

Room for a blanket

Or covering
People become shocked 

at the starkness

Of their own logic

Or lack thereof

It's like they are naked

Vulnerable

and 

Although this vulnerability comes with a price

What one receives is 

So much more valuable

Take my advice

Open your mind

Guard your heart

Our emotions are deceitful it's been that way from the start. 

Stop letting fear determine who you are

You are a Poem to me

It's like my mind is always going

Everything I see I see in Poem

Melodies of words

Cadence from ear to ear

Sometimes getting lost in a dream or reverie

You could say that about 95% of my day

Is devoted to creating

Rhymes and verses about

Washing dishes, how cluttered my purse is

You know just

Everyday things

Because, whatever I do

I can't escape it; words have such power over me

In other words, besides those already spoken

You are in everything I see

In my mind I've never misspoken

But out loud sometimes the message becomes broken

My tears of Joy, sadness or anger sometimes the token

Of having a spirit of overwhelming emotion

Toward someone as magnificent and amazing as You.

When I clean the bathrooms

I do it singing

Praises of wonder while I'm surrounded

By comet, bleach and hot water

Because there's more to everything than meets the eye

Whatever I am on the outside

It only matters what I am within

Does my smile hide my heart's cry?

Or is it a reflection

Of the joy because past hurts and sins

Have been

Washed away and now forgiven?

I want to be realistic and logical

But sometimes reality is better than my dreams though

And I am grateful, so grateful

For You

My Muse

Everything about my character I want lined up with what You do

How you think, what you see

Sometimes I feel I'm on the brink

Of going insane

Until You remind me of who I am again

So, I keep Your Name upon my lips

Your spirit flow will be evidenced

In the way I walk

The way I talk

The way I live

Until this book is fully written.

Peace
