Walking in the Light
Don Burrow 12 Apr 2002
(For Kerry, and in answer to "Trying to Live Alone")
I was worthless, not capable of being Loved nor Loving. I wasn't good enough, I'd done something so horrible that no one could or would ever Love me. My ears stuck out too much, my nose was beaten in and ugly. I was old and scrawny and had bad teeth. No sunshine intruded into my days, no glorious sunsets ever ended them. No bright promising stars accompanied my lonley nights, no dawn ever brought an end to my misery and fear. I'd sunk so far down that entertaining was the idea of going for a motorcycle ride and slamming it and me into a bridge abutment at 150 miles an hour, I can only thank God that it was a cold bitter winter and that I was wuss enough of the cold that I couldn't ride! I'd turned my back on Love and Life and Friends, turned my back on any thought of happiness again. The only songs I ever heard were sad songs, songs that sang of my torment and pain. Alcohol and pot were constant companions on my journey, the only two that alongside I would walk. Suddenly, unbidden and bold, came a light into my life. A star if you will, a billion trillion times brighter than our Sun, and that many times warmer too! Strolling in, somewhat nonchalant, with a sideways crooked smile, SHE came, dancing, singing, trilling her fingertips across my soul, playing it like a well versed harpist plays her instrument, bring light and wonderful warm music forth effortlessly it seemed. I was scared at first! Who was this woman to make me feel this way? Didn't she understand? Didn't she know? Couldn't she see who and what I was? What game was she playing, to tease me so!? But she sees perfectly well, and no game is she playing. It is true what she brings, it is real, what she does. I now walk head up and eyes bright, challenging the day, scoffing at the night, embracing each, wresting forth from them all that I can, tearing from their fabric, my place and hers in this universe of wandering souls. Every breath now comes with a prayer of thanks, every day and every night now start and end in wondering amazement and astounded glee. It would take reams of paper for me to explain what she means to me. I'd wear out ten dozen keyboards and fifteen crt's were I to try and explain what she does for me. Hands interlocked we journey now together, side by side, shoulders bumping pleasently together every so often. Laughter fills my life now, thankfulness, wonder and contentment. She looks at me and I melt, she touches me and I burst into flame, she laughs and I cry for all the times before I never got to hear her laugh. She cries and I die inside. With her eyes she entrances, with her touch she impassions, with her Love she gives hope, where once there was only night, and never any light. Take heart and heed my words friends of GT. Love IS alive. And She (or He) knows your name well, and is searching for you, if you have not already been found!
Peace Love & Light!
Part Deux 10 July 2007 And 'lo unto our valley a shadow came Its parents fear and guilt Their unholy child loathed discontent Fleeting flitting seldom a good glance At our heels howling so Came the demons that I feared Upon the greenness a blight they brought A pestilence for true So then when all we had were memories Just a sigh in the night They faded too like all things do And cursed me to you The battles fought with no trophies won A wretched fool was I As there I stood in trembling fear At the sight of you leaving I turned and faced the other way As that's what bitter lovers do Long and slow I drew a breath Breathed it out and down The trail that I must go But this time you see I know I have a shadow by my side Half the living proof If be there any Of the goodness of my soul I will Love her and Teach her To Love she will know To find the One, and Give her All Heart Body Mind and Soul I want for her to know How to Love so completely That there's simply Nothing left to Know I will help to Teach her all the many things That you Taught to Me Love Gaia, Honor her, she is all that we've got Treat all things, Lesser than or Greater With Humility and Tenderness Wrap them Softly up In the Velvet of your Heart Keep them Safe and Warm From the Tempest Laden Dark This time I do not walk alone Two sets of footprints Or three if you look from above Down our path to Destiny She and I we'll be Just Fine Because I Love Her So. ***Friends of GT - Love IS out there. For GOD SAKES …don't let it get away… |
