A broken heart
Falls apart.
A shattered dream
Cannot redeem
The silent scream…
<>
Shifting in the darkness,
Slithering away.
Fleeting premonition,
Fading into gray.
Did you ever wonder
What the sun would say
If it could remember
Dawning yesterday?
<>
Can you hear the silent scream
Of the starshine’s shattered dream?
Can we possibly redeem
The agony of a sunbeam?

Will My Heart Survive the Fire?
The poem above is a rumination on solar consciousness.
To go through Hell to get to Heaven we must first enter Hell. Are we to suppose all its inhabitants eternally damned? Stories of brave souls and pure hearts voluntarily entering the underworld abound in the mythologies of all cultures.
Martydom, a passive act of valor, but who saves the sacrifice?

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.
