Just like in the case of you
It's not possible To capture The beauty of this moon Like a sunny side up egg With a hint of red The photo does her no justice Within its frame She looks nothing but pale and white Just like you She’s everything and nothing In the dead of night Extraordinary Dark.
Goodness can distract us from our higher selves. Something important was going to happen. He had said be ready by dusk. Darkness Washed Reason FEEL I have to pass before the end of the first chapter. The last bit of ointment- What scars? -Beth F I recently took up blackout poetry and this process has just resulted in what I think I can say is my favorite piece I have ever written. Read it below. He’s There Waiting
He nodded glumly. This gradually might coax thousands to ruin just a few dozen. I didn’t ask. I came and set it down at his feet. We shouldn’t stop ever. “It will be a real chore to work it out.” I said. He straightened up. Turn it to the One, reach up and through the hole my dear little companion. Come here. Time really had spoken to me. I closed my hand around his fingers. I held little pieces of the edge in slow motion. And then there was a blur and blood began to ooze out. “Just so you know what it feels like.” The pain hit me, the sound of struggle next door, gasping for breath and finally silence . Dark night. I waited a long time and then whispered, “Are you alright families ? Parents ? All orphans? And so I take them in, and I teach them. We’ve got to figure out how people without anyone can just buy their food, have money. The only other option is to force the issue out , up . I did a lot of work growing up in mind to bring it up with the Captain first. See him, remember to look . -Beth F eEveryday I sit here wondering "Where did all the angels go?"
But then I remember that I have wings I have a choice to do some things Where did all the angels go I don't know but I can spread my wings, I can do some things I can say what I believe I have the words I can please the ears of my lord You can lift the love You can be a dove You can be the one to bring the gifts to the ones who are not having funds to do what they want to do You can be the dew You can be the thing that drys up all the tears You can be the one to bring the water to the desert that's been dry for years You can spread your wings W can be the angels that never had been seen We can open eyes to believe in things that have gone by By the wayside Why is it that only old folks sit in church Maybe it's because we need to rethink some words There are so many diverse people in this land of God Maybe we should spread our wings And love Love Love -Beth F This Is It I never wanted to do anything wrong So I just sat back and refused to sing my song I held it all in and let it fade to grey I let myself believe I had nothing to say And now there’s a new day I know I’ve got so many words to sing I found myself I let freedom ring Improvisation Sing your own song If you don’t know your heart You definitely will go wrong I never let it go I held it all in And let it fade to grey I let myself believe I had nothing to say Then redemption came on fairies wings I bought a plane ticket and I faced some things Holy shit were they were hard to see But so many other people took that journey with me We went to hell and we came back We survived the first step I never want to fade to grey again I never want to believe I’m less than him We all sin We all sin But remember Resurrection Someone will roll that stone away If we give them a reason to believe It all will be ok On these words I pray Let us find ourselves When we breathe in Let us let go of hate, greed, fear, and sin I heard the word In so many ways I want to be ocean waves I am an effervescent scent A light a life A heaven glint We are one Heart and soul This I know I won’t let go Of the truth No matter what happens No matter how bad it gets Fertilizer is made of shit This is it This Is It -Beth F Try Try Again I love you so much that it breaks my heart It brings me to that place Where I fear Being torn apart It elicits grasping This place where I imagine I have to tell you repeatedly How much you mean to me So that you can clearly see You should never leave me I have a child inside of my side She spent a long time trying to hide For fear of being used up And left out to dry Like a cows hide Stripped from its life This child's body, mind, and soul Were everyone else's She was never allowed to be whole Because they'd infiltrated her Made the two one And than raped her of That unity By walking away "Letting her be" She never wanted to be Be alone Because all that was left When they walked away Was a closet empty On a winter day Everyone took their coats and hats What was her purpose If it wasn't to hold that Hold the things that protected Everyone else The ugly The angry The empty shells Here I sit With this kid She's no longer for storage We've found a lid To contain ourselves And keep out others shit But then you came Like a wave of pain The kind elicited by sutures When closing a wound You saw the places we had yet to seal You asked us to heal Just a little more And we inevitably had to open the door Because we can't stop something that's beyond our mind This love that we have Transcends space and time So she and I We sit here asking What the fuck do we do With this thread in our skin That's holding us together Keeping us in We're not used to it This allowing ourselves To love And be loved Because we're no longer A storage bin We don't feel safe letting stuff in We're terrified that you will leave And the seams will begin to bleed And we won't have healed Quite enough To feel super tough If you break it off Don't leave me She cries As someone breaks her heart She's used to loving the feeling Of being torn apart She's scared she'll create it Or that she's not good enough To keep you around She's scared you'll leave her empty On the ground So many others have walked away after bonding with her In a special way Letting you in Is her greatest fear Because she believes if avoided She can keep you near Near enough to be had Without getting hurt In my left side lower belly This creature lurks Terribly traumatized And horribly scared All she wants is your love Your elven ears She wants to go home And never be left alone When she needs you She needs both you and me I alone am not enough No matter what the philosophers say I know that there is one single way To accept this truth I am whole and divine But not without you Give me Your love And terrify my child She will grow from this And if this is truly wild It will last I leave the fear of the unknown in the past I accept that I need you I accept that you could leave me And if you do I'll know it wasn't you I was meant to ascend with And I will accept that truth No matter how painful it may be I have faith that the cosmos Will carry me If ever again I am left by myself Without a love or a home A light Or a shelf -Beth F (Let it be known that they left me alone before I left them forever and I survived) |
