For all the BATS of the world
who need darkness to fly and feed,
and whose strength has dwindled
from bad to worse,
...

I am frozen in time
and see half blind
I cannot step forward
reach out or
...

She took it for granted,
Until gone and missed.
So long the journey.
A yearning persisted.
...

Into heaven,
a sparkling array of beaming expressions.
The lively, all-encompassing.
Aquiver with such bliss,
...

...

Have an extraordinarily good thing happen?
Knew it was beyond normal explanation?

A Miracle?
...

Sight restored.
Heart awakens.
Joy to relive
all that unfolds.
...

Who am I?

This 'I' which is always present.
This 'Me' that smiles at everything about my life
...

As the crystalline light shines over you
Veils and margins disappear.
Enter the realm of the eternal.
Open to truth,
...

ALWAYS WISH FOR…
…fields so fair and inviting
no child could resist but play
the air filled with happiness and laughter
...

You have come to bring a light a message.
I know You; I recognize and remember You
and this crafty job You must do.
...

Pain, I do not like you; I hate you.
But I know I must find peace with you.

Pain, you bear gifts wrapped in dirty rags.
...

...

The code was determined,
the language clear.
Though love may hurt;
never to fear.
...

You knew me
at inception.
When our hearts met
with our eyes.
...

In a child's eye
we all should be
no different than we are.
Children grow up and are taught
...

I want to be here for the right reason:
I soften my hold.
No need to feel so tense.
I can let go.
...

the lens I choose to use
sees only goodness

the light of goodness
...

From you I birthed.
From you I exist.
I am you and you are we.
All that flows through this body
...

It happened yet again;
I saw it on the fly.
Swore the thing
would not get by;
...
