Unconditional Love

In memory of my Father… This month will be dedicated to him… his birthday… the second since he has been gone… I will be posting thoughts and poetry for him… to acknowledge him 

June 14th 1948 -December 18, 2006

 

The ultimate expression of love I find in silence… thoughts… unshared emotions… they resonate deep within. Only after silence and time do these true underlying feelings emerge… 

 

Sometimes they arise from frailty and complete release… at a moment of vulnerability… when your mold is about to shatter… there is a hand… a spirit… a force… holding you together…

 

The ultimate expression of love can not be known first hand… it can only be given under the perfect circumstance… 

 

I have only seen this once, and it was only a fraction of what it could have been… it was a beautiful fraction…

 

This expression came to me in a glance… it came to me when I had lost the one thing I cherished the most… my father… it was a glance, I believe my father was behind those eyes… as I lay sobbing, I looked up … it was him behind his eyes… I am not mistaking love for sorrow, helplessness, pity… it was unconditional love, but I know not how to explain further… I saw a glance, a moment 

 

I share this with you in order to explain… unconditional love can not be given or taken away… it is shared, it remains in essence and in the Soul… it is revealed… in small quantities… when we need it most…

 

Unconditional love is a strong force, imagine the entirety of it…

Angels

Angles are gathering

They listen contently

They feel with our knowledge

They hurt with our mistakes

 

Ignorant of time

Aware of Life

Understanding only God

Seeing only Light

 

They hear cries

They see sacrifice

They see strife

They see 

Yet to them it matters not

They see, they feel 

its all relative to angles

To them Life is a gift

 

They are misunderstood
As is Father

They do not judge
Neither does Father

Cant they see our lives falter?

when will they learn?
Cant they see we are tired?

when will they feel?
Cant they relay the messages?
Cant they tell Father?

When will the know?
They are His eyes and ears

They do not understand

To them Life is a Gift

A gift to us

A gift of burden

A beautiful burden

 

Catch us
We are falling
From Grace
From our sanctuary

Tell our Father
Tell our God

 

Angels read these words and understand

Growth…

Anais Nin:
“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.”

Alone in your mind…

You sat there
Alone in your mind

I reached into your soul
Knelt in silence

Waiting for the call

I could not bury my thoughts
Until you gave in

We are alone
Yet we are one

We reach for light
We find darkness in sight

You helped me carry this gift
Opened and found our worlds

We are alive in a fantasy
Imagine the possibilities

What is real…
what we see?

You sit there
Alone in your mind

In the middle of your thoughts
I walked through

You gazed upon me
I acknowledged you

Assurances

Above the clouds
The sky is always blue

As seemingly infinite the sea
It has its limitations

No matter how dark
There is always a possibility for light

Behind the mirror
There is a wall

There is always a bottom
For which to land

Time possesses all
No one can control time

Sadness is an emotion
As is Happiness and Joy

A list of things I hold as true….
When I can not make sense of things I see
When things are too weird to look upon
When Life is confusing
I turn to these things as little assurances.

Please feel free to leave me some of your assurances.
They always alleviate my tensions

Phantasmagoria

With a sense of adventure
I begin my endeavor

In my mind I drift
Towards a mission

A journey

An expedition 

Time will be best

Lest it run on our future quest

 

The dream that soars
Constantly changing
Forever evolving

I slip into subconscious worlds
I drift into my souls abyss
I look out across the minds oceans

I know not where I am
I care not where I am

Here we are free
Free in a subconscious prison
Free to our souls mission

For what truly is freedom

We as Earth and sky
We as Wind and air
We as Ocean and sea
We as Ice and Fire

We play our souls desire
Forever changing landscape
Forever growing in our minds
All to be brought forth in phantasmagoria
All in a fumbled attempt to recreate

Then we slip back to consciousness
We slip back to our waking worlds
We leave our temporary haven
As we wake
As we open our eyes….

We slip away from the grasp of our Soul

Escaping our Prison 

In Utopia

 

Its Phantasmagoria
