Contemplation

Contemplation                                                                  5/8/2015

There is much above

And there is much below

But we were chosen to dwell

With one foot in heaven

And the other in hell.

An ancient link

Ever present and true

Alive in me

And alive in you.

It has been hard

And I have had my doubts

Wrestling with myself

On many long dark nights

Of the soul.

Faith has sustained me

Even in the blackest night

As I dangled on the precipice

Of hopelessness and despair.

The bottomless chasm

Awaits us all

But only if we give up

And give in.

The world is upside down

Tilted uphill

And filled with deception

Stacked and rigged against us

For the longest of times.

The good are hated

Just because they are good

Murdered since the beginning

Out of jealousy and pride.

We who have lost

Now also know

That nothing lasts forever

In the here and now.

We will be together again

And I will be with you

Because what was will be

And what was wrong

Shall disappear.

We were meant to learn

And we were meant to know

All of us together

Creating and conspiring.
