The Puzzle of Pain
Will the tears ever stop falling, do you get lost in the pain?
Can the mind ever be at ease, or is this an evil game?
Confusion takes hold and its power trip is strong.
You can ask the heart to grow colder. Has it been frozen all along?
The answers are well hidden or may be just impossible to retain.
Are these the questions that drive you crazy, or the ones that keep you sane?

Gifts that speak to the heart
Every Little Sometime
Sometimes I cry with you,
when you don’t even know that you’re
crying.
Sometimes I smile for you,
because you don’t realize that you
can.
Sometimes I sing you a song,
although your ears are not listening.
Sometimes I laugh at you,
so that you will find the anger inside.
Sometimes I stand up to you,
when you've fallen to your knees.
Every little sometime means,
through love I’m always your friend.

CONVERSION OF CIRCUMSTANCE
You’re asked
You step in
With only one foot
You’re needed
You step through
Cautiously one leg then another
You’re wanted
You jump eagerly
Whole body and soul
You’re questioned
You plant your heart
Deeply developing a core
You’re claimed
You become well grounded
Owning comfort as security
You’re ignored
You allow roots to loosen
Nurturing is lacked
You’re forgotten
You slowly stumble backwards
Pulling earth along with you
You’re impaired
You void existence
Disintegration lies beneath
You’re replenished
You salvage your step
A renewal of life unfolds
You’re reunited
You decline the obscure
For you crawl with just a seed
