A Holocaust Of The Soul

You weren't there!

 You didn't feel the torture of excruciating pain, searing sharpness of glass

sliding down your spine.

You didn't hear the terror of human agony, gripping moments of voiceless screams.


 You weren't there!

You didn't see the formless ghost of bodies paraded through the fields.

You didn't smell the remains of smokeless gas bellowing through cloudless skies.

Where were you? Where was God?

You weren't there, and now I can't find my soul!

Did you take it? Does God have it?


 Who are these people anyway?

Are they the soulless wanderers perpetrating havoc upon innocence?

You weren't there!

When the souls of the soulless were counted among the condemned.

I am here! I live again to recover, reclaim,

resurrect the holocaust of my soul!

 


 

 


Only A Memory

 
Not a moment goes by,
not a thought passes through,
not a word is spoken, 
not a rainbow in view.
 
It’s only a memory soon it will pass. 
Please, Dear God, make it the last.
 
Since a child, the prayer goes unanswered, 
now an adult, the memories are like cancer.
 
It's only a memory, tearing at the fabric of existence,
if only I could be released from the terror of resistance.
 
It's only a memory soon it will pass. 
Oh, please, Dear God, make it the last!
 


 

 


Realities Illusion

They evoke the sound of thunder
through the innocence of sleep. 
 
They make the lions roar felt
through chills that go bone deep.


 

I look out the window to a warm summer’s eve,
wondering what to believe
what my eyes reveal or my senses feel.
 
They ride on thundering horses
through rooms that don’t exist.
They attach to wandering thoughts
through mind’s that don’t resist.
 
I am in awe at the reality of illusion,
wondering what life’s lessons really are,
what the brain reveals or my heart feels.
 


 

 


Deep Within The Spirit Called Me

It’s my Savior’s voice I long to hear,his gentle touch to wipe away this endless flow of tears.

 Joy filled moments have long eluded my constant stare, and my knees are worn looking for him there.

Bombarding thoughts fill my every move, leaving shadows of doubt that I might lose.

“Save me, Dear Master!” is my wretched cry as pain fills my bosom and I long to die.

“Peace is too foreign a place for a sinner like me; send your angels to set me free.”

Solemn thoughts cascade to my rescue and somewhere inside me comes the answer.

Not his voice, his touch, nor angel’s do I see but all are found as I surrender to a place deep within the spirit called me!
