Suddenly,
in the heart of things
the world turns and it brings
glories so magnificent
it’s undeniably the world’s
best of things.
Suddenly,
spinning round once again
you see new fantastic things
then and there, deciding
it’s best to let the world
be turning, turning into more
stupendous things.

When I fall
I must get up
Look to the horizon
Never giving up.
Failure is only a learning step
Nothing happens
That you can’t accept
Learn or forget.

I am a survivor
I survived hatred, anger
things
that made me a victim
I am a survivor
I came through
growing into someone
who understands how it happened
I am a survivor
Only hurt, remorse for those
who inflicted that hatred
that anger
I am a survivor
Have moved forward
built a life full of love, generosity
no hatred, some anger
I am
I am a survivor.

Holding on, holding close
all that I love and cherish
through
the darkest time.
Let us not be separated
or
hurt in anyway
any kind.
This I ask
I pray
to
the wondrous, great Divine.

Don’t know
where I’ve been
or
what I’ve done.
The truth
is
I believe
my life, my journey
has
just begun.

Holding on to something right
Moving forward thru darkness
Into light.
Striving to be the best I can
All of this
While living life on my terms
As I am.

The sun shines bright
Radiating, glowing
with
all it’s might.
Let me not
be standing in the shadows
not feeling
its’ love, warmth, beauty
and
delight.

I can see
but
can I understand?
The way the world turns
upside down
then
back up again?
Can I stand, stand straight
as it spins
never moving
from where I stand?
I can
oh yes, yes I can.

You have been
I’ve seen
Wonders beyond belief
Life does give us
Such wondrous things
All we have to do
Is look, see and love
These lovely things.

My heart aches for the life
That could have been
The life cut short for no reason
Other than seemed a good thing
To do in the universal scheme.
My heart aches, my eyes bleed
Nothing is fair that I perceive
Maybe tomorrow sense will breathe
Understanding into all of this
Catastrophe.
