Don't be afraid.


Sometime, when You're tired;
Sometime, when You're weary;
Sometime, when You're mired,
And the rain is too heavy...

Remember.

You can bathe in the skies;
You can drink nectar of life;
You can root in time itself,
Why weave with pain a knife...

A knife, a slice of Your life.
Cut Your cake, eat it apiece -
A spouse, a job, a car, a house.
Always living life on lease.

Your hunger You don't feed,
Though food is all You have.
Wake up, 'tis not for Your need
That the rain so bitterly bites.

It's for a need much greater,
For the need of others.
Since none but one is healer
And that one is another.

A hand moves the greatest mountain.
A hand shines the senses pure pleasure.
A hand lights the flame in a soul.
Reach out.

All that's done is then forgiven,
And all that be is too forgiven,
And all that will is chanced - forgiven.
Only then can pain, can hunger, fade,
Forgiven.


All You're afraid for is Yourself.
We're all selfish and unfair,
Your choice it is, to fly as self,
Or to languish in despair,
Never knowing else,
Not even knowing that You pain.
Newest work.

One line of this is also a line from a song (maybe not an exact copy though :P). Have fun guessing which one from which group.

Reading the beginning, I thought "could this actually be positively motivating?" and it kind of is >.<
As usual all the symbols are rightly used, there is rhythm and rhyme. Maybe because I know you, I see the anger and frustration. I must say, though, it is one of your most positive poems regarding humanity. I do like it.

But I kind find the lineeeeee :tantrum:
