Words- A collaboration

I pray 

that you don’t fall prey 

to the mind

of conscious thoughts 

without a conscience

I pray 

that you hear your heart,

beating right here,

inside you.

I pray

that in this words play

you stay a while

and listen. 

You can place a phrase here

Or a word there

Rather, anywhere

You so gracefully choose

The words play 

To your selected tune,

Thought conveyance

Made tangible

So like-minds

Can explore, and find

Your feelings and deeper meanings.

Through a few words

A verse can turn

From absurd

To superb, In turn

Shapeshifting perception

And the reader’s reality.

A whole new playground

Of letters illustrating

Mental calisthenics

Rendering doubt defunct,

An unparalleled transcendence

In knowledge,

Of the self.

This is the second of the five part collaboration between my friend Michael (originaldante.wordpress.com) and I. The first of these can be found here: emptiness – a collaboration .  Michael is an amazing writer and poet and I am honoured to have worked with him on these pieces. Regardless to say, I highly recommend his blog. Stay tuned for part three coming sometimes in the New Year! 🙂

Don’t Give Up

sometimes, when I am having a hard day or in this case a hard week, I come back to this piece, and it helps calm me down…please click on original, thank you.

Don’t give up…

on that destination sought by your tired eyes,

for even this long dark lonely night,

will be followed by the light of day…

the tides rising in your heart will calm,

Keep walking on your way…

Don’t give up,

on you.
