Passing Through

I'm just an angel passing through,

Always looking out for you.

Forever I am at your side,

To help you through, 

To be your guide.

I'll give you encouragement, 

Along with hope,               

Comfort, protection, 

To help you cope.

I am here, as you know,

You'll feel my presence 

Wherever you go.

Travel life's path with enlightened heart,

Until this earthly world you part.

I'll then take you home; where you belong,

Your spirit now free, 

Your heart filled with song.

Then your next journey will start and be,

An angel passing through, like me.

SHATTERED

In weakened consciousness,
Mortality stands before me,
Naked and unforgiving.

Moments gather,
Clusters of space,
Seconds, minutes,
Hours to days,
Weeks turned months,
Years.

Fears and worries
Steal my thoughts,
Robbing my precious time.
Lost,
Never to be returned.

Memories flash,
Flood my mind
With wonders of what 
I'll leave behind.

Unspoken whispers, 
Words of love,
Laughter and song,
Did it go left unheard?

Seasons passed,
Beauty unseen.
Did I pass this life with
Eyes wide shut?

Reality stood motionless,
Silence prevailed.
Self reflection was mirrored 
Shattering my imprisoned mind.

Revealing;
Truth,
Acceptance,
Embracement
Life. 

KET

I started this write in 2011, the first few lines were how I felt at a very weak point in my life; in a hospital bed wondering what lay before me and discouraged by choices I had made in my life in regards to my health.  It took me a few years to complete the write where I was happy with it.  The drawing was meant to be that of shattering and emerging. That also took a while, students would comment "Are you still working on that" or "You have been working on that a long time."  I can conclude that; I did emerge and have made amends with my choices and embrace life as it comes. 

DREAM MAKER

Dream Maker came

Along in the night,

While in the midst of

Sweet Twilight.

Crescent moon was shining,

Stars twinkled up above;

I was bestowed a dream,

That which of love.

I closed my eyes,

Without thought or fear.

Sweet seduction invoked me,

Drew me near.

Warmth of emotion,

Surrounding, without sound

Complete fulfillment,

Pleasure all around.

All life's glories,

Secrets galore,

One couldn't ask

For anything more.

Dream Maker nudged again!

Gently in my sleep,

With the promise....that my dreams

Were forever mine to keep.

I knew I must awaken,

Knew it must be soon.

When my eyes did open;

Twinkling stars greeted me,

Along with crescent moon.

I anxiously await,

In the evening of the night

For Dream Maker to come,

In the midst of Sweet Twilight.



ON THE OUTSIDE

Always, on the outside,

Always, looking in.

Always, afraid to show herself,

For fear,

They'd see her sin.

Unable, to let herself

Be set free,

Unable, to tell us why.

Caught inside her world,

Her mind,

It wasn't that she's shy.

She didn't think,

They'd understand,

Perhaps, they never will.

Laughter,

Never once was heard,

She always was so still.

We only knew,

She had herself,

Silence,

Her only friend.

On the outside,

Looking in.

No beginning and,

No end.

Full Phase

Magically, he rises,
So big and
Full of light.
Ironically,
Mother Earth is asleep,
Filled with dark of night.

He peeks his large face,
Up over tree tops,
Casting his luminous glow.
It's always such a mystery,
The evenings celestial show.

With wonder I watch
As he continues his flight,
Up, to his evening place,
He does this slowly, meticulously,
Completely, with poise and grace.

I stand there amazed,
As I gaze to the sky,
Taking in all that I see,
I bid him farewell for the night, and
Give thanks for the tranquility.
