Consider the risk of joy
Will you take the chance
You could lose everything
You could gain everything
It is the risk of joy
Poetry, spiritual, nature, oceans, love, trees
Consider the risk of joy
Will you take the chance
You could lose everything
You could gain everything
It is the risk of joy
All through the long night
I have battled fear
And his laughing face
In every mirror
Over and over I vanquished
And destroyed him
Till at the end I asked myself
Why did I spend my whole life
Battling fear?
In the end
It comes down to breathing
And light
Love made the breathing
And the light
Restless is a stirring and a rumbling
Deep within the furnace of your heart
Where you struggle to remember
The promise that you made in the dream
Long before you landed in these dark shapes
Where you know you must.take the next step
In the long journey to who you are
When I open the door
To the green and blue world
I surrender to the sky
When I close the door
Behind me where I live
I surrender to my walls
No words were spoken
When the gush of who I am
Sparkled in handfuls of comfort
And release in the signals
Of the silent darkness
You can continue now they said
Gather up yourself and carry on
The silver clouds of daylight are waiting
I didn’t mind the thin shine
On the words of pain
Flowing over the rock of calm
Below my eyes
The rock is a bump of being
On the giant earth we stand on
Hurtling through a universe of light
Some of you out in “Blog world” may have noticed that I have dropped out, stopped posting, stopped reading, stopped writing? Not all true. I stopped posting and participating / reading here. I haven’t stopped writing. I don’t know if I ever do, not completely. Lately I write something, almost always in night or early morning. I’m glad I wrote it though I don’t think it’s any good. Later I look at it and say to myself- what crap or needs work and never look at it again. Sometimes I think being depressed isn’t a problem that needs “fixing”, it’s a logical response to this world we live in. So I’m thinking of trying a different approach – posting the junk that needs work and see what comes of doing that…..
