All Of Life Is A Stage

"We do on stage things that are supposed to happen off. Which is a kind of integrity, if you look on every exit as being an entrance somewhere else."

- Tom Stoppard

Our Wounds

before the dust settles on plains

memories of pain, cries in the rain

of sorrow

these wounds of my creation

follow

take me, my soul, my sin

take me, take all that is within

take me, wipe me away

leave only the memory and stay

don't go...

after a smile and a laugh together

joys fade, float away like a feather

in flight

comes fear of being alone

in the night

take me, my soul, my sin

take me, take all that is within

take me, wipe me away

leave only the memory and stay

don't go...

sorrows roam throughout everything

pounding down all joy you could bring

in today

seems forever my soul will shout

to say

take me, my soul, my sin

take me, take all that is within

take me, wipe me away

leave only the memory and stay

don't go...

don't go...

Powerlessness and Love

How profound is the tension within, when I desire so greatly to help my son find success, but am bound by the limitations of his choices?

"It is very difficult to push a string."

Moonlight

There is a full moon
In the daylight
I see your thoughts wander
Away from me
It isn't even dark, yet.

Still The Pain

shards slice within
crippling, forcing me to bow
feel the pain, yield to
the grip of limitation

NO! shouts my will
i will move on
i, this one of will and power
this man of means and strength

i will move, i will not yield
what are you?
a simple discomfort
a muscle in rebellion, ha!

within, the frosted grip seizes
pain, upon pain, slicing will from reality
leaving me
lying, crying in this moment

i cannot go on
i am beaten and crippled
i surrenderand
still the pain

-Theo
