Here lies the confession of sky
in silence asking I see
how it suffers and bleeds
throughout its kingdom
the rising sun’s need to be seen
and passion and beauty known
by all of mankind down below.

And I suffer the beauty in me
forced to witness disease
and the stop/start trails
of pain and heartache
inexhaustibly present on earth
until I can know the value and worth
of absorbing the all and then more.

Then can I say I’m the sum of all states
streaked with what I can take
unbound by the statute of limitation
in the kingdom of soul energy?

My confession today, I hasten to say,
is a belief in the power of love
to hold aloft my design on the ground
whether I be perceived as beauty
or simply a face in the crowd!

That seriously made my eyes water.
I too often feel the same.
Holding to your own inner love
while everything around you seems so..
Full of disease and broken
eyes full of tears
nobody hears
yet still holding to something most have forgotten
This is what the poem spoke to me
that someone else could feel the same makes my heart overflow
