sometimes...

...all it takes
is a kind word
an expression of concern
an inquiry
a first step
a move forward
and then healing
begins...

and so it goes
and the relief
that comes with it.

and of course
a word of thanks
from me...

Throwing In The Towel?

Screams unnoticed
Cries for help
Unanswered
Prayers spoken
Unsure if they were heard
Questions
Always questions
The biggest one being
"Why?"

basically gone

life cycles down
it comes to an end
some know ahead of time
others get it taken from them
zapped
out of existence

things, much like people,
cycle down
and come to an end

usefulness escapes us
at times
leaving us feeling empty
much as when life
leaves the body

lifeforce is needed
usefulness is wanted
continuation of life
continuation of being
continuation of being
continuation of being

ripped from the shell
vanquished
destroyed
cast aside
forgotten

Obtainable

A free spirit
A free mind
A world without war
A world without hate
A world without greed
A world without violence
Or blood being shed.

Helping our fellow man
Food for everyone to eat
No need to worry about money
No need to expect the worst
From our fellow man.

Each day, these dreams come to me
Each night, they evade our grasp.

Throw down your selfish desires
Throw down your weapons of hate
Cast off your selfish desires
Join hands, believe, and it shall come to pass.
