a "cant sleep" poem

this may be a little utopian for some....but it sounds nice at least.


ONE

could u claim me as a brother
even if we didnt share the same color (s)
could u see me as a friend
even if i chose another end?
funny
so many things defy and deny us
that which organically exists
and we often eliminate
that wish does not fall inde "the list"
names
ideas
affiliations
institutions
divisisions
so we live passing up the greatest friendships
we could ever give oursleves
embracing the greatest lies we could ever tell ourselves
that u have to be "just luke me" for to embrace u
value ur rich contribution to this space and life we all share
respect ur place in the same humanity in which we all exist
recognize in us all our most precious-human-gift
that which exposes and thrives off our connectedness
and because ignorance is bliss
we buy into the idea that we have to eat the same thing
believe the same dogmas
subscribe to the same truths
to be brothers
we believe that
we have to think the same things
experience the same changes
have the same words to say
to bond as sisters
but in that end what price do we pay?

souls and friends we will never know.

think on these things:
the greatest treasures we can find
are sometimes the ones we dont seek.
the greatest connection we all share
is our basic humanity
which unites us more than our minds divide.
we are brothers
we are sisters
we are spirits
we are
one
one grop of beings
who share the same earth
same resources
same music
same God
one
who are different
but all the same
one brotherhood
one sisterhood
one love
resting in many
residing as one.

GUESS WHO'S BIZACK?!

I remember how fun blogging used to be for me....so I'm back at it for now...check out my latest two pieces.


Stay Lifted & Be Free

New Pieces

"I Could Call It The Element of Freedom, but I'll just be Free Instead"

Fear is nothing
God is everything
Like fresh water that chills me
Gives me life
And Peace
The Spirit of Love
Engulf every fiber of my being
Being conjoined with You
Baptized in hope
The cleansing away of defeat

No tears
Just
Love
You tell me, "Go deeper"
I fear, I step back
You plead to me, "Go deeper"
I fear, I step back
You tell me, "Go deeper, trust"
I trust You
Knowing that that is the first step towards liberation

The coolness of your love heals me
Inspires me
Gives me a new life
Freedom to live
Freedom to be who I am
Freedom to walk into what I will become
Freedom to rest assured
Knowing that you are with me

Freedom of having love
Freedom of feeling loved
Living in Love
Loving Freedom.



"Kiss the Sun"

Have you ever seen something that took your breath away?
That could see into the very depths of your soul?
The beautiful ones
Ones that you can feel without speaking
Without even knowing them
The ones that give you pain where an opportunity is missed
The ones that lighten up your life unconsciously
Ones that touch you like the sun kisses the sea
Two indescribable forces meeting in the distance

If only the two were to connect
Unbridled by the uncertainty of life

One's that you're willing to take arrows of humiliation for
Because their beauty far supersedes all that is desirable
The ones that make "love at first sight" seem realistic
The beautiful ones

If only they knew how beautiful they were to me
Beyond comprehension
You are my heart's extension
Of that deep-uncontrollable-longing feeling
That leaves me day dreaming
Of what could be
If only the beautiful ones only knew
How beautiful they were to me.
