Fenced In

Once while fencing my heart
I chanced upon an impossible dream
A dream I suppressed countless times
It rose, in beauty, on feet of hope
And embraced a tear drop out of me
With hurried steps I rushed away
To find my mask, my book of sense
To invalidate my yesterday
Then turned to build my trusted fence
There it lies unto this day
Un-nurtured, neglected, growing still
I hoped it gone, wished it away
And yet it remains against my will
Time and time again I leave it at the gallows
I walk away and pronounce it dead
The tenderness lying deep in my heart fights inside
I look back and find it there
In my mind it seems miles away
But truly it’s only steps away
Beguiling tangible....agonizingly beautiful
And mercilessly invisible to all but me

As a group they had made pledges to raise enough funds to donate to the Isla

This moment

This moment seems to flow like a molten sapphire  A moment filled with a deep blue silence  A silence so deafening and yet so serene  Neither is the earth below nor is the sky above  The rustling of the tree branches  The leaves are saying only you are here  Hidden from everyone and everything  Only myself, my breath, and my heartbeat  Complete tranquillity, loneliness, and only me  Because of this I believe in my existence.

Tears

When I see her tears, her pain why do I ache in here? Is this justice? If the burden of both tears and pain were her, what justice would that be? Were her tears and her pain to be mine, justice would be done The tears welled up from her heart. I made her cry.  When her tears stream down here why do I ache in here? She says I don’t understand anything.  If I never understood anything, How come I understand what I am and what she is ?
