Have you ever stood
still and felt
An overwhelming tenderness
A deep sorrow
Watching the world as you know it
Collapse in one great rubble?
Will you feel rage and hatred?
Will you feel compassion and care?
Will you think how you will make them pay?
Will you think how you can help them heal?
When you greet fire with fire
You make a gigantic ball
Until its big enough to topple
Everything on its way
Have you seen fire greet calm water
And meet in tranquillity?
The great fire quiets as its passed
From one calming presence to another
I am not a great hero nor done any great deeds
But this much I can be, a bearer of hope
To let the pained souls know love is possible
And maybe the great ball will quiet as its passed
From one loving heart to another

Peace Offering
Compassion
shines away
the blocks to Truth
the obstacles to Love.
Compassion
banishes
the barriers
that keep you
apart from me.Judi |
Once upon a time…
Once there was only love
and no pain could ever
touch a human heart
the moment however
someone broke
another persons heart
pain went on
from heart to heart
from lover to lover
it spread like
a disease
pain grew stronger
while love became weak
nothing more than
a word used in vain
the human heart
was no longer protected
then pain found its way
to our very souls
deep in the soul
pain was able to destroy
the one thing meaningful
the unconditional love
that turns us into
true humans
This story
has no ending
not yet …
let love grow strong
so that it not only
can mend a broken heart
but also can heal our souls
maybe then there is a way
to end this story like a fairytale
and they all lived
happily ever after…Lizzy |
