One breath, one heartbeat
keeps our spirit in this realm.
Bless every day

Poem: Heavens of Illusion

Though the heavens may fall
I am standing my ground
This world of the senses
makes no sense to me.
Who am I and where do I fit 
in this battle of the spirit?
I am alone
The world exists only with me
Beyond these senses
there is nothing else
