This lost soul of mine sometimes stumbling clumsily,

sometimes gliding fatefully into one’s life who’s in need,

trialing brightly colored streamers of hope and optimism.

My contagiously cheerful smile flashes into the deepest and darkest corners of your

soul like remembering a song from happier times,

and resurrecting them with a promise of New Life,

unless…. you shut me out.

As I see those lovers play games of NO and Yes,

a quick caress, the silent sigh only I can hear by the time

“goodbye’s and “whys” come to thought.

Lovers play games of Yes and No,

of stop and go,

of wait and fate,

too late.

They laugh when they want to cry,

they leave when they’d rather stay,

they quit when they need to try.

Search for your forgotten and lost soul as you hear the message from The Divine One;

“As you close your ears to the sound of my voice,

and through the thunder of thousand cannons,

you will hear me calling out your name.

Blind yourself to the light of my eyes,

and though the darkness of eternal night,

you will feel it piercing upon your soul.

Insulate your body against my scarred hands,

and through the blocks of ice,

it will tremble in response to my touch.

Turn your cheek away from my breath,

and though layers of rocks,

you will feel it hot against your lost and forgotten soul

burning and wishing for my freedom,

please find your path to my kingdom of love.”

As for sadness,

some go through waters,

some go though floods,

some go through fire,

some go though their own sorrows, but we all go through blood as it seeps into earth.

there are some silent people whose praises should be sung,

but The Divine One gives us songs to be heard by all,

though the night seasons and all the day long.

So, I praise The Divine One for the people that I know and the people that I once knew though out the world.
