What Do You See #136 – May 30, 2022
A cut soul bleeds
stained tears upon
her face
a betrayal so deep
words cannot express
her face
the completed masterpiece
sorrow’s beauty

In Response To:
Sadje’s What Do You See #135 – May 23, 2022 – Write an original story, poem or a caption.
Yet another path to walk
an unending journey in life
sometimes tiring to endure
will it be winding, rugged,
smooth or straight with
obstacles to overcome or
this time will it be the path
I hunger and ache for
gentle, loving, peaceful
a place where I can
finally experience rest
for my body and soul…
only time will tell

So Beautifully Flawed
In Response To:

If all you see
is the facade
of this mask
then you do not see me
Look beyond my skin color
and this imperfect body
gaze into my eyes
see this soul’s light
filled with Love
that accepts you
just as you are
as we all are…
so beautifully flawed.

Sadje’s What Do You See #67 – Photo prompt
When my heart becomes
gloomy
my first instinct is to
tiptoe
around the issue and
pretend
that all is a well and good
facade
but I have painfully learned the
repercussions
of avoidance the darkness shall
reign
leaving my heart
imprisoned
unable to walk into the
Light
if I do not embrace it in
Love
that turns the darkness into
Sunshine
and repetitive foolish choices into
Wisdom

The Love Train
In Response To:
Your Daily Word Prompt – Liven – January 5, 2021
Sadje’s What Do You See #63 – Does this picture inspire you to write something?
Alas, the sun has set
upon this once vibrant
train station
alive with souls traveling
the same destination
until suddenly the world
took a turn for the worst
turning to violent rebellion
over things only seen by
the carnal mind that
aspires to nothing higher
than a hostile, self-centered,
and selfish state-
a spiritual death…
But we can liven this death
by leaving behind the carnal mind
and reboarding the Love Train
traveling the same destination
to a Higher Mind of Love
All are welcome!

Yet, another mask
painted in brilliant colors
sparkling glitter and
neon brush stokes
catching the attention
of all eyes passing by…
But the dispirited eyes
behind the mask
speak of truth hidden
the ache of the lost soul
desperate to be set free
from the prison of facade

When the soul has been
hewn to love beyond itself
precious is the grace that
has borne another’s burden
~ * ~
Galatians 6:2-3 (AMP)
2 Carry one another’s burdens and in this way you will fulfill the requirements of the law of Christ [that is, the law of Christian love]. 3 For if anyone thinks he is something [special] when [in fact] he is nothing [special except in his own eyes], he deceives himself.

A Dead Place

Sadje’s What Do You See #7 – Does this picture inspire you to write something?
As they journeyed through the vault
in search of a priceless treasure
they found it to be vacant and silent
of the lyrics and rhythm that gives one purpose
to live and partake in the abundance of life…
They chose not to dive deep into the ocean of grace
to capture the music that would carry them through
the waves of sorrows, pains, unbearable grief into
healing calm waters of Love’s strength, joys and
incomparable heights beyond human realms…
But alas, they let fear imprison them into quietus
for a soul without music is a dead place.

A Higher Realm
In Response To:
Sadje’s What Do You See #6 – Does this picture inspire you to write something?
The Light dawned upon
a darkened road
choosing a special
place to begin
an unrealized journey
for a newly borne soul
saying: “Follow Me
I will lead you
and guide you
into an unspeakable
Higher greatness!”
She followed and
the promise still
holds true.
