I was packing up somethings yesterday and I found 4 poems that I wrote on 2 napkins back on 9/8/94. The odd thing about finding them is that it’s probably the last time I’ve written anything. So I wanted to share them here with all of you.
Inner Peace Part 1
Joy swept past me in a blink of an eye
And in its place slowly creeps in the darkness
To fill the void that has been in my soul
I desperately fight to regain the joy of yesterday
But the bitter cold sweetness if the dark is so inviting
As if this was the one true element in my life
I was truly missing.
But I must resist. I shall find the glorious light of
joy once again.
However, where do I begin?
Now as I look out 2 the world it seems to be as baron
and isolated as the desert.
Though I’m surrounded by people they seem to not
have any faces.
All I can see are ghost, no people, no faces, no names
Where is the light? I truly need to see once again
To embrace the shadows and to end the fear
In my minds eye I know I am love.
But it seems as if my soul is turning to ice
Has the weight of this life kill the joy I once knew?
Will my soul feel the sunshine and joy run thru me like the river Nile?
Or shall I become as the Dead Sea
Alive but yet not alive?
