Stronger Together

4/29/2020

​Know that inside you are hurting
the mind is clouded and confused
everything is making you feel alone
searching for answers as to why
without a clear tunnel to go
 
There are people out everywhere
feeling the same conflicted emotions
that is hitting you and your heart
 
As we walk through this with each other
breathe in, taste how precious it all is
there is a new sky every day
look up, it is beautiful
even when the look is grey
 
Take a hand, hold it together
all of us, as one, so we all can see
feel the strength of us, lifting
can walk along, struggle by struggle
overcoming all as we are stronger together

Together

​We are in this together
to pick up the weakened
heal them with strength
so all can be built again
 
Boundaries have been brought down
loss has affected everyone
in our global neighbourhood
nationally or race
does not stop pain
each person feels it.
 
Holding hands across the land
with unspoken kindness
will provide the courage
to face all without fear
as one body, together.

For Certain

4/14/2020

​We have been here before.
The scars from, bloody skin,
aches from the broken bones
show that we have survived.
Another battle is nothing
when fought with determination.
This is for certain.
 
Forces outside of our control
have crept in vying
for everything we think is important.
The evil does not know
how misguided it truly is.
 
It is seeing cracks
in our human foundation.
Basic challenge is being challenged
due to unexpected panic
amongst the confused few.
 
We have conquered in the past.
History is littered with these battles
with what has been considered
larger, more brutal foes.
 
The beatings are real
and the pain will last
with us after the fight.
Sacrifices are to be expected.
This is war.
 
It has been proven
when we battle together
as one unified unit
that evil clouds disappear
as long as our arms are connected.
Victory, over the long haul, will happen.
That, when combatted with the human spirit,
is for certain.

Whispers Of The Calm

4/6/2020

Boxed in anxiety of the unknown
is taking over this confused body.
Starting to ignore time
and its existence.
Just wish to breakout
of the mad ness of this mind.
 
Breathing is even,
chest could stop
or explode at anytime.
 
Attempting to clear it all
from the racing mind
to center my soul’s universe.
 
Sitting, bringing in the light,
centering on the positive
holding onto and appreciating.
The valleys can be worse.
 
Spirits have spoken
to stop the shaking.
The body being opened
to the whispers of the calm.
