Nietzsche - thinking out loud

Nietzsche with your heart and soul, 

how could you be so brazenly bold. 

As to suggest that we rewind

but once again the hands of time.

That shackled us to darkest state, 

again and again by wretched fate.

To catch a glimpse of prism light, 

eluding us in the dead of night...

as we fought in our greatest fight.

Are you wrong, or are you right?

A thought

Such a crippling affliction that thing called envy, 

it dances about the mind with a double-edged sword,

and strikes at the heart with fury.

You and me

I need my tribe, 

you know, my vibe.

Where my crazy is okay, 

cause they like me just that way, 

I need that welcoming space, 

where I'm never out of place. 

And I'm encouraged just to be, 

all the things that make me, me.

I need you friend, just as you are, 

cause no matter, near or far...

we are chapters in this story, 

that was scribed by God in glory.

Just a thought.

To be so blessed, not above nor below.

Just soundly planted where you can grow.

Sounds of the season.

I love to hear the chatter of birds, 

I imagine the words...

A mother saying come home for dinner. 

A taunting rhyme, cause he's the winner. 

A lullaby for a newborn's rest, 

safely tucked inside the nest. 

Gossip from the chatty folks.

Some not so funny retold joke. 

A fable or a sweet old song.

Encouragement for the weak to be strong.

Every rhythm in this rhyme of reason...

those miraculous sounds of the summer season.

A thought

A heart forged in a lightning storm, 

is a heart that beats with fire when it's born.

A thought

When you find yourself pushing against the wind, 

you may gain advantage if you dig your heels in. 

But if by chance you happen to fall, 

there's no shame in regaining your footing from a crawl.

Weary

Where are you my beating heart? 

In the still of the summer breeze,

in the swirl of the autumn leaves.

Where are you my beating heart? 

In the notes of a love bird's song, 

in the hours of a day so long. 

Where are you my beating heart? 

In the sudden down pour of rain, 

in the wind's sweet soft refrain. 

Where are you my beating heart? 

Are we miles or worlds apart...

in dreams that elude my weary soul,

find me, so I can be whole.

Unshackled

Let me out in the wild blue yonder, 

so my mind can limitlessly wonder. 

Like rays that glisten in the sun, 

unshackle me, so that I can run.

Through fields in the sparkle of night, 

barefoot and boundless with delight. 

In the silhouette of a moonlit sky, 

where my soul finds the courage to fly.

Surround me with the wonders of nature, 

the masterful work of the creator.

Where hours unfold like a dream,

and I am a steady flowing stream.

Release me so that I might soar,

through valleys, atop mountains and more.

Where I can make haste to my heart,

for we have been too long apart.

Plant me where the wind won't break, 

freely giving the things that they take.

So I can grow like an antient old tree, 

firmly rooted in the wonder of me...

abandonly wild and free.

His walk

I met someone the other day, 
who shook my heart and soul.

I met someone the other day, 

who was as warm as the world is cold.

I met someone the other day, 

who was undaunted by his load. 

I met someone the other day, 

at the beginning of an arduous road. 

I met someone the other day, 

thank God, not a minute too late..

A moving profound example

of what it means to walk by faith.
