keep moving every minute of every day pushing onward refrain from looking back evading that twisted claw of grief as it tries to shred the memories of yesterday

Home
opening the door stepping over the threshold asking not much neither a kiss or an embrace just to lie down for awhile not to be alone just to be at home

Recovery
that oft travelled path hard to traverse and understand healing scar tissue keeps tripping one up on those ever-larger keloids memories of the past calm, heal, infuriate foot sore, weary, burnt and blistered searching for recovery, healing crossing over to the other side searching for another I see peace in my eyes or another’s

Bleeding Words
writing is when you get stabbed and you choose to bleed words out onto the page ..... instead of spilling your blood on the ground bleed through your words ..... stain the pages with your passion and pain

Broken
not knowing dying a slow death emotions bleeding out lying in an ever widening pool at my feet the stains of my life fade into nothingness

Tunnel of Love
roll up, roll up shouts life as you excitedly queue to enter the tunnel of love what beckons what awaits so much excitement the yawning future sucks you in darkness beckons, engulfs holding on tight to each other and our dreams forevermore distant lights approach eager anticipation unfolds what awaits love, eternal happiness for evermore …… pain, longing, separation forevermore ….. patiently, silently we await the darkness slowly lifts

Pain
pain fast approaches crashing into you ripping all asunder pulling it in close embracing, holding desperately trying to keep all the broken pieces together ....... clinging not ignoring desperately hoping to transform ........ pain to compassion anger into love fear into kindness ....... needing positive energy to sustain through the travails and tempest that assail on this journey

A Question…. ?
A question to comment or ponder on:
How does one engender empathy (and hope) in ones darkest hour? Do we/can we do it (engender empathy) because life is fundamentally amazing, even though (or because), is spite of it all, it has an ending?
Expectations
I’ve always had expectations from the first time we met realised our dreams forged in conflict on life’s anvil the world keeps spinning even when you let go although my head is spinning as it all slows down the forge cools my dreams keep recurring I don’t want to wake up to the possibility of diminished expectations and forgotten memories ……. but still I linger for the dreams to become real expectations
