A Breath Upon Mine Ear

O my soul
why hast thou departed hence,
leaving me alone to bear the burdens of this life 
in quiet solitude? 

Doth thou wander now
among the throngs of spirits lost? 
Perhaps thou art seeking me even as I seek in
desperation for thee.

Not only for
the gentle strength of thy
supporting presence, but for the value which
comes with thee, to me. 

Swallowing my 
weakness, fears, and pain
I dare journey through dark places til we meet
again and I beg

for thee to stay.
Again to whisper in my ear that
I am so much more than the masses fault me
to believe.

Exhausted 
after many days of unfruitful
seeking. I rear my head and cry out to thee.
Please! Why?

In earnest
I have sought for thee
and never hath my trials seemed so great
and I needed

Thee. 

A voice, a
breath upon mine ear.
Here I still reside in thee, and hath witnessed
all thy trembling.

For I knew
that I alone could not
support thee through thy life. These trials I 
did allow thee

to face alone,
though heavily it weighed upon
my heart to witness thy pain these days. 'twas
for thy good. 

No more tears.
For I am here and thou 
art stronger than if I had held thy hand or simply
carried thee.

Now let us
face the world together,
with eyes radiating strength and experience that
we may be

Teachers.

Letting Words Fall Out

Drifting in and out of thought
up and down
a waterfall of words
Salmon swimming upstream.

Struggling to breathe because
the Thoughts are more important,
the Words are more important
than air is. 

Calypso less word more sound
echoes through my veins
pulsing to my very brain
I hold tight to every moment.

As the tide rolls in I can't help
but wish that my thoughts
were more Appealing, more
Appetizing, perhaps. Something
of 
Substance. 

But is substance what I'm really
going for? What I want
in my life? There is a superficial
beauty in simple nonsense. 

Nonsense. Nonsensical. 
Completely underrated, yet
gives me complete motivation
To let my mind give birth. 

A pregnancy of thought. 
Conception, development,
pain, stress, suffering form
into something that becomes
Nothing

short of a miracle.
