Let's Get Creative

I want to dissolve here and abandon
Abandon struggle
Abandon hope
Abandon fight
Find truth within fragile words
Of snowflakes and footsteps
Dissolve amongst the fragile souls
Crack this rusty cage
Loose the tongue
Loose the spirit
And set the genie free to roam
Over snowdrift towns
Eddying towers
Swept and winsdstruck
Flurrying without care
Until settled its pieces reach its rest
To end, melt dissolve
Into big white sky

the beauty of it all,
overpowered me
the weight of your joy hit me,
like a two ton heavy thing
if you don't mind,..
I think I'll just sit here awhile
sit and try to understand all of,..
this
while the world decay's around me,
I hold tight the feeling you left me,..
the eternal glow
that shines so bright in your eyes
the smile that radiates such warmth,
on this cold trail
the touch that let's me know I'm alive

Love has dealt me this wound,
and its love that will heal me
mine eyes are beginning to open,
and much to my surprise,..
they see the love all around me
the love within a touch
love within a simple greeting
a reminder that love is there,.
In a kind word,..
maybe needed at that very moment,
to keep on keeping on
love, though we dare not speak it,..
in a stolen glance
love in a childlike crush,...

There is love all around me,..
so if you don't mind,..
I'd just like to sit here for awhile,
and take it all in.

Great

i have a photo from prob 1977 or 78
a big winter
that looks nearly exactly like this
waking up to a fresh clean world
washed of all our sins
to start new again
walking out to the edge
of the yard
wanting to walk the lane
but it looks too perfect
to tread upon
much like our lives
so i take a picture
and remember for
ever and ever
what it was we had
when we were young
and naive
and all the world
was fresh and new

'77- 78 great years indeed...I was 21.
I don't think I gave much thought to sin
and I wouldn't want to go back or do much over
but I remember being blown away living in a world like this picture.
Cross country skiing or hiking, making the first human tracks in a winter wonderland.
Spying bunny and squirrel and birdie footprints in their world.
Standing, so quiet you can almost here the glistening snow fall off the branches.
It was here, when my world was young, that I met my truest Love.
The Love that God gave me. The Love of His world.

All the moving thoughts shared here by my creative friends.
They mean a lot everyday but
are even more special to me this time of year.
Thank you for writing and for being you!
Happy Holidays!!

Happy Holidays to you too my friend.
Your thoughts are always inspiring

re: Sin...I don't think i thought of it
no..i KNOW i didn't think of it as sin
or even considered the existence of sin
other than the sin of treating another person unfairly
back then...or even now
not sin, in the traditional sense of the word, that is
i think i just refer to it as being a release
from all that we might have had in our minds and hearts
that was not pure or was unkind to our brothers and sisters
in our world
chase away these "sins" of yesterday
and bringing us to a fresh new day
know what i mean?
not sin, as in the ten commandments
sin as in the wrongs we commit against one another on a daily basis
the unkindness, and the thoughtless remark
things that can stay with a person forever
even if they meant next to nothing to you when you said/did them

like eddie said once, and it always sticks with me

"I used to try and kill love, it was the highest sin.....
Life comes from within my heart and desire"

actually that whole song kinda already says what i'm trying to say here
so i'll leave it to ed..and mike...inside job .... its so true

All that i'm so clumsily trying to say...well, It's already been said, so here ya go, i share this view on life:

Underneath this smile lies everything
all my hopes, anger, pride and shame

make yourself a pact, not to shut doors on the past
just for today,... I am free

I will not lose my faith
It's an inside job today

I know this one thing well,...

I used to try and kill love, it was the highest sin
breathing insecurity out and in

Searching hope, I'm shown the way to run straight
pursuing the greater way for all,... human light.

How I choose to feel,... Is how I am.
How I choose to feel,... Is how I am.

I will not lose my faith
It's an inside job today

Holding on, the light of night
On my knees to rise and fix my broken soul

Again.

Let me run into the rain
To be a human light again

Let me run into the rain
To shine a human light today

Life comes from within your heart and desire

Take Leave
the conscious mind
Found myself
to be so inclined

Why sleep
in discontent?
Oh the price
of companionship

My shadow runs with me
underneath the Big Wide Sun
My shadow comes with me
as we leave it all
we leave it all Far Behind

Empty pockets will
Allow a greater
Sense of wealth

Why contain yourself
Like any other
Book on the shelf

My shadow lays with me
underneath the Big Wide Sun
My shadow stays with me
as we leave it all
we leave it all Far Behind

Subtle voices in the wind,
Hear the truth they're telling
A world begins where the road ends
Watch me leave it all behind

Far Behind



don't know why I felt the urge to post these here - but I was just listening and felt the overwhelming urge!!

Deepest Winter
21st December
Those pagans knew what they were doing
As the freeze sets in beneath the bones
As the light dwindles
To a flicker
Threatening to fail
Lights
A human plea for deliverance
From the mercy of the Earth
Christmas cheer
A bottled memory
Of happy times
A smell
A fresh icy smell
The smell of renewal

And the children
The children so wide eyed
In wonder
Makes me forget the hardship
Man does to man
does to me
Wonder
They bottle it and sell it this time of year

Humanity finding time
Time still to love

love that tremors

Thanks, but I kind of think it spoils the picture!

doesn't spoil the picture
the picture is gorgeous
but to tell you the truth
when i was reading
i was disconnected from the picture
its your words i was taken in by

Bit of a mismatch. Was just thinking about 'Xmas'!
