the crumpled boarding pass fell out my pocket as I fumbled for my keys time away from home makes the heart more distant taking care of self whilst away causes pain to those close distance damages doesn’t always heal departing the breach leaves a gap that could be filled by another or just left empty love and affection forgotten, lost in time through one’s travels this void left …. empty, vacant and alone

The Mark of Cain
cain’s mark, an unstable man groaning and shaking on the earth unable to release his grasp or be the man he could be stains of the past scar for life as the past passes one by if not for you, then who? healing eases the pain but memories remain leaving scars and crosses to bear healing, forgiveness remembrance or a warning that mark comes with a great burden and a sacrificial cost?

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
