I want to cry

I want to cry for all that’s lost

For a perfect paradise lost

For clean air and water, lost

For exotic creatures, lost

For trust and compassion, lost

For love and passion, lost

For a naive dream, lost

For innocence and kindness, lost

For the companionship I had, lost

For the tears I cannot cry, lost

For the the future that may not be 

And for all of humanity

I want to cry.

And then I want to believe.

I want to dream and have hope.

Because, the chasm before us 

is so great,

The next step forward 

is a leap of faith.

Mostly

I live in a mostly beautiful place

With mostly nice weather 

Where the people are mostly lovely.

And most of the time,

I am a mostly loveable person. :)

Choose your path

Walls surround you,

troubles abound,

far from home,

not safe, nor sound. 

 

Choose your path,

seek the light.

Fear no darkness,

evil or fright.

Onward now

from where you've been!

Follow the light,

there's strength within!
