a/n:  I'm not sure I would call these
poetry, I tend to see them as tiny
sparks to light the way for a soul
in the confusion of darkness,
like guardian lightning bugs
in the tall grass along a midnight path.


The most hopeless thing
is a soul with no reason why.

————————————————






Cannibalizing other souls
Will not nourish your own.

Rather, it's the surest way
To eat your own.

-----------------------------------






Poetry is therapy,
Work is anesthesia,
Laughter is medicine, and
Friends are glue for fractured souls.

--------------------------------







Souls are the

Most precious things

We ever own,

Guard them as such,

And heal as needed,

For we will never have but one...

-----------------------------





Many times in life
You cannot help another
Heal their soul before
You see your own wounds...

----------------------------






Make haste to begin repairing

your soul,  for the procedure

Cannot...



Be...






R u s h e d . . .

-----------------------------






Try as they might,
There is a level of

brOkenNesS,

Beyond which,
A soul cannot intertwine
With another for life,
As it should,

Without repairs...

---------------------------






The only thing more
Devastating to a soul than
Watching another drown,

Is failing to save them...

-------------------------------






The saddest thing...

That ever existed...

Was a soul...

That didn't believe...

It could be healed...
