Have you ever seen shame
The glimpse of hurt within the shadow of the eye
The glimmer of hope fading with every second of realization
Have you ever tried to feel the hurt of another
When the moment comes
The attack falling on ones Soul
The pain ravaging the Mind
To see the truth
To feel the answer
Some call it empathy
To bestow is apathy
To acknowledge is neccessity
That is wisdom
For I have seen shame
The sadness and despair
The energy of pain
I wish never to see it again
Rainer from Esoteric Journey tagged me and was tagged before by Luiza
An interesting meme delving into the lives of other bloggers… so technically it is a YouYou and a way to “pick your brain”
The rules are:
- Choose whose brain you want to pick.
- Ask a question about what you always wanted to know from that person, never mind whether it may be indiscreet – so be cautious 😉
- Tag (with a TrackBack) the person
Oh, yes, and of course answer the question that you were asked, more or less detailed
The answer to my question is no… I never wore braces when I was young. I did however wear really funny looking glasses. 🙂
Now my questions…
1. Ray… have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a different century? Which would it be?
2. Gypsy Heart… what led you to painting…( thank God for your gift)… if you could imagine doing anything else as good… what would it be?
3. Zenuria… I know of your travels and adventures… if you could have an ideal set of circumstances where you could travel and see the world… where would you go first?
4. Sorrow… what’s the first thing you would do if you became president?
5. Glaize … If you witness one natural phenomenon what would it be?
6. Cordie… If you won the lottery what is the first thing you would do?
7. Sanity… this is gonna have to be a good one… if you could spend one hour in someone elses shoes… who would it be and what would you do?
8. Spaz… Imagine living in the future… what would you look forward to?
9. Surface Earth… With all the awareness you bring to us readers… all the empathy you show… all the beautiful words you share with us… what is the one message you would leave us with?
Now to all those whom I tagged… I have come to know you well through your words and time has definitely weaved us together… through the last couple of weeks I have met new friends and read beautiful essays and works of art… I am blessed… I wish to ask all of you… What does the world look like from your view??
Wow I went a bit crazy with the tagging… have fun… can’t wait to hear your answers… 🙂

Is your life yours?
Do you live for you?
Are you a prisoner to life?
Or do you lead your own?
We live day to day and hide.
Behind a veil we hide
Afraid to reveal our beauty
Afraid to remove the mask.
Are you in control?
Can you let it go?
We forget to look closely.
What we do not see
Owns us.
What we do not see
Controls us.
Deep down inside
The place where we hide
Our soul stirs
It screams
It pleads
“Remove the mask!”
If you hide in society
If you live in shame for goodness
Your soul is in shame
Your soul screams in vain.
All that renders lost feelings
All that gives forth hope
Begins to fade away.
We are not in control
We need our souls.
Enough.
There is no turning back time
There is only here and now
There is only life
There is only one.
Live today
Not yesterday
Nor tomorrow
Masks tie to your soul
Masks weigh on our hearts
Masks infringe on our minds
Masks get us lost
They hide our souls
Enough!
Time to reclaim
Time to release our souls
Our spirits whole
Show yourself and Smile
Live and be who you were meant to be!
My Angel
Are you there when I sigh?
Do you feel it when I cry?
Do you feel it when I die?
My Angel
Are you lonely for me?
Do I harken a cry too painful for thee
Am I selfish
For questioning and neglecting you
Are you happy?
Am I?
My Angel
Do I make you smile?
Do I make you laugh?
Do you feel my heart?
Are you near my path?
I wish to be…
I wish to do…
I wish you near
For eternity…
My Angel
Can you feel it?
The life which you guide.
Can you hear it?
My soul filled with pride.
My Angel
Is He great?
As great as you?
Can you relate?
Perhaps a fate for you…
My Angel
I wish to see
As the blind enlightened
I wish to hear
As the deaf awakened
I wish to speak
With the voice forever silent
I wish to touch
With the purity of the mind
My Angel
Call me home
Together, never alone
I pray to Him
Do you hear me?
My Angel
I feel for Him
Do you feel me?
My Angel
I cry for Him
Are you there?
My Angel
I speak to him
Perhaps you, my angel
