Reflections from the Journeyed Warrior
One Dot
Can one dot make a difference?
Can one drop paint the sky?
Can one be many
a kaleidoscope on high.
Become light,
Become love,
Transform your life of thought!
And your mundane fault
Shall be reconciled in love's divine vault.

Love bids me bloom
Why bloom in such a dreadful place?
who can thy beauty see,
or your fragrance embrace?
Burdened souls of chaos and despair,
care not for joy nor for eternity,
as they feast on carnal fare.
But consider now from whence I came
from shadows of turmoil and fear,
Transformed by love's touch,
I live to breathe its air and share,
my gifts with all who care.
It's love that bid me bloom,
what ere the place may be.
In season or without,
It's love that bids me.
Grow and soar my heart,
rejoice and overflow,
with thanks of eternal gusto.

Light is shining yet not for me
Some distrust the light
Why do you shine away from me?
It is just not right,
That I must fight,
To get close to you.
I deserve to be happy.
Is it wrong to want the best?
Yet I see you turn.
Turning away from me.
Dear friend, what do you mean?
I have come for all.
Surely you can see,
My light is for you.
Yet you keep running,
Running away from me.
I thought you wanted to be free.
To live in the light of eternity?
Cause you don’t make me happy!
Can’t you see?
You expose my faults.
So, they laugh at me.
Your truth hurts my heart,
Making me lonely.
Now a choice must be made:
Stay in the dark and be happy, with my friends and my money.
Or step into your light with no friends and probably no money.
I am sure you mean well.
Yet I cannot be your friend.
Some day we may meet again.
Until then, farewell.
Peace my friend, peace.
Until we meet again
Says the Great Creator, close at hand.
‘No matter the demeanor,
Afford them the respect, granted to my creation.
My life exists in many forms’.
And so it is.
