This is Hope

Light

May 29 2010

This is hope.

Knowing that

The light is there. 

Waiting.

It may be hidden by the fog

Or 

Behind a tree.

But it is there.

Waiting.

And as long as I didn't give up...

I knew that I would find it

And win.

Seek Knowledge, find Wisdom, live your Truth!

I Believed

My version of the Patrick Overton poem...

I Believed

When I came to the edge of all the light that I had and I had to take a step into the darkness of the unknown, I truly believed that one of two things would happen to me; either there would be something to stand on, or, I would be taught how to fly.

And as I stood at the edge of that mountain, trembling in fear, tears streaming down my face, I leaned into the wind…and began to soar. ~Susan 2010

A Walk In Compassion

I will live in compassion

I will walk a path of peace

no longer judging

I’m living free

I will live in compassion

I will be free

can you walk in compassion

can you let your soul free

can you reach out your hand

and say “follow me”

you’ll find your way

your truth and your light

when you’re able to lay down

when you give up that fight

then I'll walk in compassion

my soul will be free

torment no more

in my eyes they will see

the human condition 

such as it is

a walk in compassion

my heart open and free

loving the others

in spite of what they did to me

letting it go

won’t make them free

but it takes me

closer to peace

Good Things

I see good things

In my mind

I see good things

Is what I will find

When I see good things

In my mind

How do I?...I will.

how do I do this

how do I see

that I am not limited

in what I can be?

how do I go forward

leave the past behind

how do I get there

what will I find?

Somehow I have to

reach for that ring

Some way I'll get there

I'll be free and I'll sing

Standing at the top of that mountain

ready to reach for the stars

no longer fearful

no longer scared

I know that I will go far

this day I will get there

You know that I will

No longer a victim

I stand free and until

I let go of the memories

I grieve the past

No longer helpless

I am free at last
