TRUTH AND FRIENDSHIP
In you,
I have found true friendship.
For ever so long I have searched for those
That hold a passion for living each day
as a new beginning.
I have searched and found
emptiness in words,
darkness in minds,
immoral acceptances
and dark moralities.
But in my mind's eye,
As I pass through this degradation of our Humanity,
I see you rise above this pessimism
With a strength surrounding your very being,
You seem to know the weaknesses
that make each vulnerable,
And you have walked those dark paths
that are better left without footprints.
Still, yet,
You smile when reminiscing those parched memories
of a bittersweet past.
For, it is you that does not judge,
that does not ridicule,
laugh or call names.
It is you that will listen
When all others have but empty advice.
You feel compassion for the most human of situations,
And these rare and precious qualities in which your Soul cradles
Have drawn my everlasting friendship to you.

SUNDAY'S SONG
Be not overwhelmed, my Love,
By the lightning-quick Truth.
It shall blind all those that will not see,
and cripple great, mighty Nations
that ignore their children's cries.
This is Sunday's Song.
Sleep the deep sleep of
Heaven's bright Angels.
My gallant, brave One;
My Hero; my Love.
For tomorrow's long journey:
there is much to prepare for.

WE TRULY ARE
It matters not
That worldly goods are plentiful,
Or sense and nonsense
Fill our everyday hours.
It matters so
That our hearts give love
And take away sorrows.
It matters so
That kindness and goodness
Engulf our mundane lives,
And give us each a chance
To be merely human.
That is our saving Grace
And Holy Forgiveness.
God's Children;
That is truly what we are.

"...For me, poetry has been a soothing balm in sometimes sticky situations. My words in verse are who my Spirit is and what It stands for. When pen is put to paper, it is not my conscious Self that lays verse to vellum; it is another plane that the words transpire and I am ever so grateful if these words inspire even one individual. All would be worth the minutes I've ever doubted myself."
--Julie A Linn-West
