There is hope for even those that have just about given up for any help, it may lay in a touch of heaven falling on this earth.

Oh coldness within
Chilling me into bone chattering screams
No warmth exists for the emotions are frozen
The mind’s voids breeze through you
In never ending memories fallen

Paths long ago abandoned to doubt
Carry cobwebs of horrors
Sticking to you in the glue of life’s baits
Tie you down bounded with no where to go

Nothing is new for nothing happens
The day begins before midnight
And ends at dawn
Bringing you down before you can start

Oh cold my nerves are shattering
In trembles so severe that they repeat
In the valleys that held the others
For the walls are too high to climb
I lay isolated to myself

My mind floats away from my body
To the peace that is not there
But in nightmares that lay you bare
With nothing to hold onto
Except your birth

A hidden hard touches you
And you are baptized
Into a glow of warmth
Of a blanket of love

You are wanted
Yes you are wanted
And so you start out of your hellhole
A step at a time
From within your own soul
For the help to survive
Must first reside within

As the chills still take their toll
A new inner strength now builds
Let them take you down into abandonment
To only find no one there anymore
Trap them in their conscience
Of the pity they bestowed on you

Walk away proud for they now lay shattered
You see chills of fear for they don’t understand
And as you lay a finger on them
They start to feel the reason why
Someone with nothing to offer
Could now stand over them
And offer a blanket of compassion
That will glue them to their memories
And how someone with nothing to offer
Could offered more than some
With all the wealth of warmth

What a profound piece.  There is worth to everyone!!  People who have been beaten down are oten the most real people I have ever known.  When we are stripped of everything we acquire a strength that is infalable.  It is a rebirth.  Very much like viewing the world as a child, yet this time picking and coosing what is important, what to leave, what to keep.  I enjoyed this very much!  This poem shows your depth in viewing the world and/or yourself and other people.

BRAVO!!! A renaissance of faith and motive, I LOVE IT!!! (big hugggssssss) It seems those who suffer more will grow rich in love and pure compassion, to reach out to all of those who suffer and offer them hope and joy when all seems hopeless in their points of view! (smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, I have been there too and I almost sacrificed myself but only lived and hung on to become the person I'm proud to be! (big hugggsssssss) Excellent message, sweet friend, everyone should read this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lester, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
