Dear Mother
Dear Mother…I too cry for you
Because I know all of your pain
The pain of a Mother loosing their child!
And I scream at the window
At the people driving by on their crooked roads
Going to where? Where can they be going as my child dies?
As she lays dying
Cradled oh so lovingly
In my tattooed arms!
But the people driving by went on
And she drifted away
And somehow I went on too
And I was sentenced by God
With the heaviest burden
Not to take care of a child
But to now…take care of a stone!
Burying a child, dear Mother
Know there is no greater pain
And no greater sorrow
And no greater silence
The BECOMING
Swim the river rising
Free of fear, filled with purpose
I've fought through oceans of adversity
Against the current to obtain the highest purpose
Swam through oceans of suffering to
Climb the falls of the White Bull
Transform into the White Bull ~
A living symbol of Courage and Love
An eternal being, living a human existence
Nothing can shatter my horns
Dreams of the White Bull: Horns of iron, hooves of brass
And I am with them as a lion among the beasts of the forest
And as a young lion among the flock who
Both tread down and tear in pieces and none can deliver
And see I am he who does it
Beat in pieces all
What do we find
In this world of misery?
Pain builds upon pain
Undermining trust and faith.
In its wake a maze of sinew and bone;
A delightfully tragic wreckage!
I look back and that ruble
Was to be a beautiful creation
The reward of hard labor and arduous suffering;
Not bruised marble and weeping stones.
And a tiny hallowed modest grave
That holds my little valentine.

I think therefore I am
I am therefore I care
I care therefore I love
I love therefore I hate
I hate therefore I dispair
I despair therefore I die
I die therefore I think
I think therefore I am.
I think therefore I am
I am therefore I care
I care therefore I love
I love therefore I hate
I hate therefore I dispair
I despair therefore I die
I die therefore I think
I think therefore I am.
