Maybe One Day

Maybe One Day

 

We often talk about wanting truth

But we seldom strive to find it

Sure we look or listen or read

Deep down, we still want our illusions

Many we have learned

Some are forced upon us as true

Occasionally we hide them

For we don’t want them to be true

Or we don’t believe they are true

And some we just want them to go away

Sometimes the lies are so much more

Believable or acceptable by society

So we give in to the lies as if they were true

There are some people who will never let us

Decide or know the truth

Others who will claim someone lies

While that person is struggling

To make sure the truth is heard

No matter the cost and that is the truth

 

Maybe one day we will be able

To listen, to read, to see

What the truth is in our world

I hope we strive to understand the truth

When we finally get to know it is true

Our world is complex and we spend time

Trying to over simplify it to our vision

When the world is pure wonderment

We need only to open our hearts

HeartSmile

HeartSmile…I carry

the memories n love

of those who have been

with me at some point

or another in a HeartSmile…

each time I smile,

I allow their love to come 

through me and reach out

to another…

to brighten another’s day…

or just to say hi and to enjoy life…

thank you all

who have influenced

my smiles through the years...

may the smiles continue

to grow and flourish..

HeartSmiles to all.~pharris2012

Essence of Life

A faint whisper calls, not with words
but with an essence of energy
Something new is approaching
coming to encompass you
and your world, it is not fear you feel
It is a love more powerful
You embrace it, yet someone is holding you back
Do you let go of them or embrace it all
Both to be fulfilled by new essence
surrounding everything.

One Raindrop

One Raindrop

A calm breeze began
Picking up speed
Humidity rising
Sweat beginning to form
Feeling warm chills
All up and down 

Thoughts of preparing
Momentary lapse
Prioritize this and that
Feeling awkward
As no sign happening is occurring
No clear path
And yet prepare for the worse
And then one raindrop falls
Making haste, second guessing
Thunder in the distance
Another drop forming a puddle
Drips creating ripples
Moments of time
Stand still
If only for a minute 

Mesmerized
Thinking the storm has passed
Lightning strikes the tree
Bursting it, shattering it
Fire burning
Engulfing nearby objects
Fear creeps in
Must move on now
Terrified of whats more to come
Grab bags and jump into the car

Earthlings, We Are

Earthlings we are

Earthlings we will always be

As we may one day venture

Beyond our earthly planet

Home is here on earth

For us, you and me

We have so much in common

But we strive to point out

What is so different

We are forever Earthlings

Both you and me
