Summer Rain

Listening To The Sound Of The Rain

As It Taps On The Window Pane

The Thunder Roars

Sounding Off, Its Authority Known

Painstakingly Deliberate

So Chilling It Soothes

Every Drip Every Drop

As I Lift My Eyes

Every Beat 

In Sync With My Heart

I'm  Hypnotized

Summer Rain, Summer Breeze

Cover Me Slowly 

Embrace Me Totally

Carry Me Away 

To My Fantasy

distilled or fermented like a fine wine,

Freedom

Freedom - The state of being free.  The right to enjoy all the privileges; exemption from external control , regulation or interference . 

We live in a country where we come and go as we please.  Without the constant fear of militants bombing our homes.  We travel at ease on organized highways attending school functions, shopping and dining out without a care in the world.-Freedom.

As we ponder upon the privileges we have do we truly examine our walk of life?  On an individual level freedom is a 'choice' to enjoy life as we know it.  Though we have choices some are shackled by fear, the internal control; therefore freedom becomes non-existent.  

Slaves to love
Slaves to economic grief
Slaves to corporate America
Slaves to peer pressure
Slaves to our own inner struggles

Paralyzed by the fear of losing love, repercussions of speaking out against that which is wrong....paralyzed by hurt and despair.   

Random thoughts - Are we TRULY Free?

Trust - The Broken Link

Trust is like a broken fence. If you look hard enough you still see the link. Although it has been repaired it still bares the kink. The kink in the link which brings hesitation in how we think.

Poetry

You comfort me

You embrace me

You sing to me

You encourage me

When emotions and action's of those have shackled me

You step in and release me

You accept me

You invite me

Into your heart, your home

Known as poetry.

~~~Skin I'm In~~~

You Don't See Me

As A Child

I Shed My Skin

Beautiful Young Lady

Emptied My Soul 

Skin Bare 

For All To See

I Followed My Heart

Gave You My All 

It's Unfortunate 

You Still Don't See Me

Redefining Love

Love, not just an emotion but an action.  

The lyrics of Whodini ...say it well, ' You got to want it as well as you need it!!!' 

Many have acknowledged the word to be used loosely.  But do nothing to re-define love. How did we get to this point?

Love is an atmosphere shared and felt when one has left the other's presence.  It's how you are remembered.  The memory makes chasing pavement in the effort to bring the nights of pleasure back sooner, when one is away, so worth the while.  

To follow the curve of one's face as the fire and energy are ignited, love.

Food for thought, If you give away all you possess to the poor but possess no love, your efforts are meaningless..what have you gained but an empty house?  If you speak in the tongue of the angelic ones and possess no love, you are but like a changing gong.  Same chime different time.
