THEY RISE & FALL STILL BEAUTIFUL

a shining example to us all … <3

 

“You know by now that I'm an orphan;

displaced; a fractured heritage

with broken bones and greenwood splinters

I find solace in my private hermitage

while they knit together and are cauterised;

my bones and wounds will heal

my soul will rise and truth will find me

within the Catacombs of Bastille

a chequered history when darkness fell

but somehow I will rise above

my mind still pure and innocent;

my heart and soul still filled with love.” - AP

THE BEAUTY OF YOU – JIMMY LaFAVE

 

Be your own anchor

and weather every storm

duck the flying lemons

be still within; the healing balm

of knowing who you are is rich

in love; in goodness; confidence

complete within your inner shell

a wholesome fruit no-one can dent

validate from deep within

there you will find the truth

don't listen to the tides that turn

the lies they tell; there is no proof

let your inner child and voice

supply the answers to your prayers

the truth will out and blood may spill

but love is there for those who share

understanding is the key

to our human frailties

someone hurt who screams and shouts

is only human and full of doubt

rely on yourself to find the way

a tree needs no outward validation

“it is what it is” my inner voice says

I can stand tall; no limitations

my soul is evolving to a state of being

as I move slowly to enlightenment

we must suffer; that's how we learn

a pain-free life is not our entitlement

all those who float along smooth paths

I do not envy you

for I consider life-lessons a gift

they make me stronger; they make me true

“consider the lilies of the field”

they rise; they fall; they are beautiful

leave tomorrow to itself

live in truth; be bountiful.
