A Frozen Forest Night
A fire burns within...
So soft and bright stars shine above;
My senses open to the wonder.
With gratitude and peace and love,
A fire burns within.
The night is frigid, the forest frozen; my nose is nearly numb. But even now, I see the beauty. I hear it, I breathe it, I Feel it within me. There is love and peace everywhere, and I feel safe in this quiet darkness.
The horizon gives a soft glow. The sky is wide and filled with stars; pine needles in whorls are silhouetted against their light.
Forest, snow, and Earth below. This is where I need to be. I breathe deeply and send out my thanks.
May everyone see the beauty and feel the love...

Life is a silent illusion
Life is a silent illusion. When I wake up, in the gap of time, I think of those past events that seem far away again. Perhaps everyone has a city in their heart, where the undead are buried. There are their own stories, their own scenery, far or near, happy or sad, and then choose to forget or bury.

Wake up
Is this a dream, I can’t wake up i gotta be dreaming, these strange people around me screaming. Wth is going on my legs won’t move. My head is pounding. I can’t really see. Am i dying? Naw can’t be. If this really is the end who’s going to miss me. I hear people talking but I can’t speak this can’t be the end i still haven’t found my purpose & gave myself peace. This gotta be a nightmare and I’m fina wake up. But somebody’s whispering. “Just lay down you’ve had enough. Your time has come, your pain is over hush child, I’m here to take you with me and forever you’ll be free” maybe i should go this pain is to unbearable “No my child open your eyes, this is your fight so don’t give up. This journey I’m going to send you on it will get tough but the strength i place upon you will overcome situations that are rough. I don’t think i can besides I’ll be free once i lay here & take my last breath there be no more me. “Resist him, stand firm in your faith. Don’t let the devil temp you and take you away. His scheming ways will mislead you & cause confusion . So listen to my voice & I’ll guide you to where you need to be. & let me say it won’t be easy it will get tough but jasmine you are a warrior of god so it’s time to GET UP!

I Need to Tell You Something
I hold the piece of paper in my trembling hands. The wrinkles from how often I crumpled the paper only to straighten it back out again as I changed my mind one more time making the material feel almost soft. I wrote this letter knowing that I would not be able to keep my thoughts straight without it. My mouth is dry, it feels as if I have inhaled sand and I lick my lips to try and get myself ready to speak. I know what I have come here to say today will be difficult. I look at the wrinkled notebook paper with its tattered edges from the spiral and begin to read.
