HELP 101
Who can provide help?
Can a priest? a holy man? a friend? a spouse? a child?
Where will your help come from?
Not, just help to get by --
to become "better"
but help that displaces the old crap
with
NEW LIFE AND HOPE
for the future

Yes, you're buying and selling
looking and exploring
and yet, your soul is restless
It looks for "home"
It craves "home"
What used to be "home" and safe
no longer is
Because you've changed
All that is within you seeks to align
with what's familiar
but friend,
what is familiar to what is within you
will ultimately destroy you
and alienate you from all that is good
What needs to happen
and happen NOW
is the removal of all that is within you
that causes you to seek "home"
in places where your soul and body
will be destroyed

This is not something you can do
This is not something that your priest, a spouse,
a friend, or a child can help with
But there comes a time
in the life of one who follows God
when they are given such a challenging assignment
that they, too, run for help ~
Actually, you're not so difficult, Mel
All in a day's work
We do our part
God does His
and hopefully you'll see and feel
the changes soon
Are we on the same "page"
and you wonder what "book" we're talking about
All in person, you will know someday
when you "crack the code"
~
Endless tragedy
my soul beholds
I long for reprieve
but find the horizon dark and without hope
sunlight once mine
remains hidden from sight
darkness and doom
covers my soul with a cloak
I struggle to rise
I stagger and fail
I struggle to fight
but even my thoughts don't pierce
the stillness of death
stealing over me
innocence remembered
dreams from a peaceful slumber
recalled and sought
but I still cannot
escape the truth of the moment
the fact that
past or future desired
I remain here
forever lost
forever cursed
forever shamed
forever?
