We are all liars
in the light of the truth
blinded by
pride and desire
unable or unwilling to see
our thoughts and our words
merely shadows
on the wall of deception

It’s okay
to have nothing to say
embrace the quiet
enjoy the stillness
breathe
allow peace to wash over you
the noise
will make itself

We cannot deserve grace
it is a gift
bestowed upon us
out of love
and mercy
all we can do
is to accept this gift
with an open heart
GRACE UNDESERVED

The truth is written
on your heart
you can ignore it
deny it
or reject it
but the truth remains
waiting patiently
for you to submit
to Love
THE TRUTH REMAINS

Give way
Give way to love
To peace
To compassion
Give way to quiet understanding
Give way to that which is eternal
So that you too
May become eternal
GIVE WAY
