You are not Alone.

Alone

Solitary

Loner

Words that describe one which has no other

In a world of six billion, so many describe themselves as thus

For even in a crowd, the feeling of being alone

Permeates the fibers of our hearts

And every beat slowly takes us into sorrow

For none understand this pain

This sadness

This loneliness

That drains away the life from our limbs

And makes our hearts frigid and dark.

But, with six billion others that could be feeling the same way, are we really?

Are those that scream out into the void of their frozen hearts truly not heard?

Truly, this I say to you

That no cry may go unheard,

No tear fall in vain

I make this vow

You are not alone.

Reach out your hands beyond that barren, windswept plain of your heart

And you will find

Fingers

Reaching back to grasp yours

And pull you back into the warm of the sun

Though your darkness, reach out, reach out

For there is already a hand waiting to grasp yours.

Reach out

Find that light once again

And become that hand that reaches into the darkness of other’s hearts

So you me be the the proof that

You are not alone.

Sacrifice

Sacrifice

What is it that drives people to it?

Love

Devotion

Hope

But also

Greed

Hatred

For those who are sacrificed are not only those who are willing

Still, it remains the greatest gift

For in the end, when you have nothing more to give

Money

Fame

Power

Glory

Life is all that remains.

So precious it becomes at that moment before it is lost

We struggles for it

To grasp onto it with both hands

To never let it go

But when you press another onto that life we are given

And slip slowly away from it

Pressing that other to the light as you descend into the darkness

You begin to understand the value

Of the things you hold so dear

So then take heart

For many have sacrificed what they have

So that you may have the choice

Of light or dark.

So then remember, remember, remember

Those who laid cobblestones for you to tread on

So that you may hew a path for those that follow you.

The Shattering of Lies

Ephemeral wings

Soaring above all

Seeing the world for what it truly is

Beyond the doors of perception

Beyond Good and Evil

Beyond Love and Hate

Beyond Hope and Despair

It exists

Silently affirming

Silently breaking

All that we hold dear

Forcing open the eyes that gaze upon it

Eyes that can no longer look upon lies

Now look with sorrow on the world they knew

A world covered with deceit

Of those who live with eyes shut

Ears deaf

Mind closed

To the truth that surrounds them

For their lies hold their pain from their fragile hearts

So they will not shatter into a thousand shards

That tear at the hearts of those around them

Under the light of such truth, all lies are wiped clean

So then how can human hearts endure?

What can heal the pain it brings?

For we all shall are already the broken shards of the mirror

Letting off a million shades of light

When that day comes, all we will have is that web of tiny threads

That connect each heart to another

And that shall become the frame from which the new world will be born

For when that day comes, truly, that may be all we have

So then hold each heart closely, tenderly

For any among them may be the one

That saves you from your darkness.

“Choice”

When you have no one left to turn to, when the darkness comes to claim you and

all you have is yourself…what will you do?  Would you cower in the face of it,

cursed only to tremble and weep before being consumed?  Would you avoid by

becoming the darkness itself, consuming those that refuse to submit to it? Or,

even knowing the risks, would you fight against it?  To you, the choice my sound

clear, but to face that darkness is to face to the deepest fears, sins, and

desires of our very souls.  Do you have the power to face something that

powerful?  As this life is your life, this choice is yours, but it is not one to

be taken lightly.  Once you have stepped down a path, you will find it

infinitely harder to step back.  That choice may make you, or it may break you. 

The only thing that will save you is your own determination.  So I ask you, what

is your choice?

“Out of Darkness”

“From within the darkness, I heard your call. But a whisper at first, growing, little by little, like ripples in this cloak of shadows. Drawn by its serenity, its beauty, I followed it blindly until, in the cold blackness, I found it. That one shimmer of warmth, one glimpse of light, one ray of comfort that was your heart.”

“To the night without stars, the trees without leaves, the eyes without glow, as my life was before and after I met you. In this world of darkness, you were my hope, my courage, my radiant light. Without you, I only wander in shadow, alone.”

“Angel among us”

“The statuesque figure before me glistened in the morning sun.  I was certain

that this monument, this figure, could be of no one else but Aphrodite, Goddess

of Love, for no other could hold such beauty in such a small, elegant form.  Her

hair was of golden amber, extending beyond the waist.  The skin, of the purest

white marble flowed smoothly and elegantly across slender sloping shoulders down

to long, toned legs.  Slight ruby lips pursed slightly, as if kissing the new

day opening before her.  Completing this monument to unparalleled beauty was a

pair of the most brilliant sapphires, surely plucked from the most intense

burning stars of the night, placed gently into her eyes, which turned and were

fixated at me.  I felt as a man surely did before the face of God, as if I would

simply be turned to dust before such magnificence and be blown away as dust in

the wind.  I was certain that this figure, as still as she was, was certainly a

statue, for surely nature could not create such a heavenly form with its wild,

groping hands.  That is, until this goddess took in a slow, deep breath of the

new morning air, allowing it to slowly fill her lungs with it’s purity before

letting it flow out once again.  Truly I have died, I thought, and this is an

angel before, for a creature of such indescribable beauty could not exist in the

world that I know.  The angel seemed to almost hover off the ground as her eyes

met mine.  Or perhaps, her angelic magic was causing me to be the one to float

towards her?  But here in this moment, I could be certain of nothing.  For in

this moment, I could not tell up from down, left from right.  The angel’s

crimson lips curled upwards slightly into a smile before speaking in a soft

voice that rippled in my soul like a stone thrown into a pond.  “Welcome home.” 

I could not move, could not breathe.  The angel before me, noticing my

expression, laughed slightly at my plight.  I only managed to force a slight nod

before I began my long uphill climb, up to where this angel awaited me.”

“The Last Leaf”

As the fall approaches and the leaves fall from the trees, why is it that the last leaf takes so long to fall?  It clings despirately to the tree that has been it’s home, alone among its branches, beaten mercilessly by the coming winter’s frosty breeze.  Is it fear, fear that it will fall to the earth, only to be trampled underfoot and rot in the dirt below?  Is it stubborness to give up that which is knows so well?  Is it confusion from being the only one left, the only one to persist against this frigid land?  Perhaps it all is a moot point, for the leaf is well aware that one day, it must fall.  What is yet to be seen, however, is whether it will be drawn back to the earth by the weight of it’s sorrow and pain, or will it be carried aloft, high amongst the clouds, to dance in the wind, never to fall, never to break, and each day draw closer to the warm sun that gave it life in the beginning.  Perhaps, even that return itself is frightening.  However, the circle is inevitable in this blue world; what was will become, and what has become, will become what has.  The wheel is perpetually spinning, drawing us from burgeoning dawn to the encroaching twilight, and back again.  Fear not where change has come for you, nor where it goes, but what you do during that journey, for that is the one truth that we ourselves create.

What is your most important word?

Here’s a question I’m posing to everyone out there:  What is your most important word?  Is it a word that defines you, or what you aspire to be?  Is it some ideal, some hope, some wish that you seek?  Is it some pain, some terror, some memory that holds you?  Let me tell you mine, and then tell me “What is your most important word?”

My most important word is Resolution.

“Resolution” is, obviously the dedication and tenacious devotion to something, enough to put everything on the line for that one thing.  Someone, or something you believe in so strongly, that’d you risk losing everything to protect it, or to achieve it. 

It is Determination, Devotion, Loyalty, Trust, Love. It is all those things and more.

Resolution, to give up everything for someone else, even if they never know you did it for them.  Resolution, to face a sin you’ve committed, even if you know it’s possible you’ll never be forgiven. Resolution is the core of all my writing, and is the thing I seek the most in life.  What is your most important word?
