Without You #poetry

I still do not get used to the cold of winter
Now the eternal rain falls
in the endless hours in which I am
and for you it's time to say goodbye.

The air is not enough for more than a breath
and doors are closed,
everything else is broken
wrapped in ruins,
Now I just exist; a life without you.

Dawn continues to break
but I can not see it from the drawer
in the white space I have left
between the first assault and penalties
hanging on the trees.

I'm better corroded between hope,
epilogue of the wind is not going anywhere
all in ruins,
in the room there is nothing beyond
a life fractured in all ways.

2012 WORLD CANDLELIGHT VIGIL FOR FAMILIES AFFECTED BY SEXUAL ABUSE

This world wide candle light vigil is to acknowledge the impact that sexual abuse has had on our human family. The subject of sexual abuse is not one that most people choose to acknowledge because it is such a painful topic. If you have not been directly impacted, you may feel that it is a topic that doesn't concern you or that you cannot be of any assistance to help others heal. The rediscovery of ancient knowledge and new scientific evidence is proving the healing power of pray, meditation and our very own personal thoughts. These discoveries are redefining the very nature of our beings and demonstrating that we are all connected to one another. It is our aim to raise our collective consciousness and heal the wounds that the act of sexual abuse has cause for all of humanity. Please join us in this world wide healing.

Below you will find the details of this event:

What? Light a candle, Prayer, Meditation, Contemplation, or Conversation focusing on the healing of humanity.

Who? Every living human being.

When? June 15, 2012. Between the hours of 7pm - 8pm (your local time zone) for any amount of time you choose. The aim here is to focus our consciousness on the healing of humanity in a 24 hr period world wide.

Where? Where ever you are; at home, with your family, friends, or in a groups around the world.
If you are planning to create a group event of your own, please contact Claudia Durr or Fernanda Mejia and they will create and event from this group and assign you as the host so that all can keep in touch through this site

Left Behind #poetry

He walked along the winding road
as wind roared through the night
Looking around he could not see
another soul in sight

Until he found what he had lost
his quest would not be through
He had to get it back again
and knew just what to do.

Just as he thought he reached life's end
he saw him standing there
Cold and alone, without a home
with moonlight in his hair.

Embracing him within his arms
he wiped the tears away
He softly whispered in his ear
that he was there to stay

He vowed to never him leave again,
the child that he once was.
Love lived within the memory of
the one he left behind

Mixed

so here we are again
in the twilight
here the red of the sunset lives
and here is where the blue learns to be blue
as the waves hit the shore
all the poems come here to crash against
the rocks

I'd rather be the wind
in the trees
than the roar
of the train
I'd rather be the fleeting blue
of the bluebird
than the red of the sunset
I'd rather say nothing
that you think clever
than to say
nothing
at
all
