HollowNight

Karen Beauregard

I see beyond the flame to blame.
that a soul to show so much wake.
Take my heart tremble, bendable, to reforged my shape; to make.
I see a dove the flew like a beckoning northern light.
Cast a shadow beyond a galaxy of mine.
Pulled me through a dark calamity.
Caught the cracked walls and shattered halls.
Falling down to cease.
With a Karen-ing so to miss.
Built a road for me to roam a home.
To be my own.
I shiver, wallow, now to take a hand to caress.
A life to be one with mine.
Is this a true love that I wilt not break.
All the time I have been forgotten, and alone.
Madness never to belong.
Is this broken thing misunderstood?
left my heart ajar, broken, fractured; crumbling.
Mine maybe she who thinketh me to be a better man than I used to be.
I wake the morrow mortal and true Beauregard is our love faithful and true?

Politeness....,,,,

Siblings sitting quietly entertained
Under a palm surrounded by frame
Hustling and bustling all around
Two different families to be found

Airport traffic going here and there
In their world totally unaware
Casually keeping each other in mind
Modern day travellers learning to be kind

Brother and sister playing cards unique
Another brother and sister sharing a toy to tweak
Both lots of siblings around the same age
From opposite ends of the world an another page

Interesting to be found under the same tree
As I peruse quietly from a distance you see
Understanding the qualities to be found
From children that travel above the ground.....

"One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth forever...The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to the place where he arose..." Ecclesiastes

And all the things just keep on their course,
And every thing returns to where it belonged
After fulfilling purpose of its life and worth,
Cause meaning of creation is to live and go.
Our destination is to keep alive, endure the same,
Meet our final stage and thus fulfill the end,
And leave a trace for generations still to come,
Who’ll feed on legacy of ancestors that passed,
And find their sustenance in it and thus survive.
And like a day that comes and night that follows in its wake
This unabated drive for life will never change,
For thing that matters, being essence of our life
Is waiting in the line for our turn to come
To bring fresh blood to earth and then to die
Without complaint, but thanking for our time.
One generation passes thus and then another comes,
But earth abides forever, Ecclesiastes writes.

"I'd Like To Be Sensational"

If I had one desire, I would like to "sensational!" I want to be that "sensational man" you extol to your mom and dad. I want to be the man you speak of to your friends when you say, "He's one sensational guy!" I want to be involved so deeply in the power of expressing an attitude, no, an emotion, so people say, "There goes a sensational man!" I'love to go my work place and immediately after evaluation, be told, "You're a sensational employee, our customer think you are the greatest!" But, alas, the one thing I desire, I am not. I'm not sensational... I do not dress in a sensational way. I possess no super powers that are sensational. Nor, do I have that sensational look. But, what I've found out is this, I am the one and only me there is, I'm one of a kind. I was made in a sensational way by the Almighty. Sensational, through the loving hands of God!

One Of A Kind

i like to think that ive made a difference
that ive contributed to helping the world
but what have i true given a few lines on paper
an occasional inspiring word
what good does it do to try to encourage
why is it only after the fact
as a person i find this a poor quality
something thats unique to our species
but just because its unique doesnt make it right
all species fight for the greater good of the species
why must we only fight for the greater good of me
we cant make a difference if we only help ourselves
so why dont we try to help someone else for a change
if we want to truely help we will fight united
one for all not all for one or we will only fall

Lost within

My despiration & pain drives me
to a place of no return
a place so dark and cold
where no fire is to burn
bathed in tears, i’m so cold inside
I shiver from my soul
heart barely beating within me
I’m weathed by the cold
darkened world around me
sometimes i yearn for the light
weakend by the constant storm inside
i sometimes forget my will to fight
I wonder where my savior is standing
and, where is my reprieve
a promise once givin to all that love and believe
my love is tainted, but never my intention to be
I have just been so lost , yes so lost within me

torn 2..........

he seeks his answers elsewhere
a border crossing into brazil
where the rainforest has been murdered
to farm meat that they can kill
many hours many miles
to understand the plight
all he see's is hooves and dust
it's not a welcoming sight
he stays with a family
to see the life they live
an uneducated cattle baron
and his instincts that would give
food for his family
forever and a day
methane over oxygen
there is no other way
he's shared the ways of cattle
he's tasted his own knifes blood
he's asked the questions to understand
how deep is this mud
he seeks reasoning
from the baron
and realises what he already knew
survival instincts pave the way
what else was there to do.........

LOVE IS

Love is....Insanity,
a mystery wrapped in enigma,
surrealism in entirety....
Though understandable.

About....... God.

God….Is a hermaphrodite,
Is man,
Is woman,
Black, white, yellow, brown, red,
Gentle, loving, vengeful,
Life giver,..... Taker,
Constructive, destructive,
Yet, always seen to be right.

God’s existence cannot be proved,
God….Is everywhere,
God….Is nowhere,
Has many names,
All different,
All the same,
Yet, we still have faith,
As many thousands, by miracles are moved.

When it comes to war,
Each side believing, praying,
In God’s ….Name?
Fighting, cleansing, killing,
An eye for an eye,
A life for a life,
Is God ……On God’s own side?
One thing is sure,
What we sow we reap,
And is, for us in store.

The Rainbow

I saw dark clouds filling the skies
It brought tears to my eyes
Suddenly the rain came
adding to my pain
The darkness of my soul
became a black hole
No light could enter
I could not find my center

I felt lost and alone and I felt
my heart like a stone
Nothing could atone

After a time the rain stopped
the clouds blew away
I saw the sunlight piercing it's rays

A rainbow appeared along with an angel quite clear
with love in her eyes and crying crystal tears

She told me to let go of my fear and hate or suffer needless pain and a dire fate

Know that the heavens are always here to remind you
to hold onto what is true and dear.

Listen to the voice of truth
no matter how painful it may seem
for you are responsible for your dreams

You may not like the various angels sent to you but, their truth they speak is tailored for you.

Many may not understand your ways and you may not understand theirs
yet do consider everyone is on the same journey to self
it's just that they are on a different path.

If on occasion you meet a few you can relate and they likewise share the same fate

Learn from them and love them for their gifts
for they likewise seek the same from you.

Let not your arrogance and ignorance shadow your inner beauty
For you know that is not your reality.

You were created out of love and given certain gifts that you may offer them to others in name of the God you dance to from above

Each moment wasted in anger and regret is a moment you cannot get back for love and joy on a bet.

Hence, look from within and find your truth for you will see the light behind the clouds

You don't need to constantly seek approval from the crowd for they are equally lost and found within the clouds.

Simply offer your love and let it embrace them from above
If they receive you then bless them.
If they reject you simply forgive them.

True freedom is knowing you gave in your capacity
and you did not lose your integrity or tenacity.

Always consider the demands that many place upon you is often the same they place upon themselves

You may not please or impress everyone
yet, that is not the goal
in life.

Just do what makes you happy and stop the strife.
You are not getting any younger or feeling any better
or wiser
It's time to change the visor.

Many will judge and criticize your thinking but do not fret
for everyone has their point of view

It doesn't matter because Heaven and Earth will still love you.

Years from now when your bones are resting underground all that may be said of you is you lived and died leaving not much of a sound.

Yet, know that no matter how bad things get there is a promise that heaven made
that the love it has for all will never fade.

Look for the rainbow and see the colors glow the pot of gold at the end is the love I send.
