rape, ripened

in poetry •  7 years ago 



the urge to blame, the urge to accuse - subsided.

instead, this new atmosphere is light.

not the kind of youthful, naive lightness one experiences in adolescence.

but the kind of lightness carried by complete confidence in oneself.

the kind of lightness that understands, that forgives.

the kind of lightness that inspires, that gives.

the kind of lightness that asks of nothing in return, only living in the present moment.

love and tolerance take precedence.

perspective in the right frame of mind coupled with kindness...

trust in the right heart, trust in your own heart.

possessing the knowledge of what's in store tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow.

acceptance and wisdom following this confusing trail...

whenever you feel lost, take my hand.

i shall guide you, listen to you. be your friend.

you're not alone.

we are not alone.
now, smile on.


I've felt reconnected to faith lately. once a witness, i shunned the mysterious deity that reigns over so many of us. why is it we seek repentance in dire straights? do we not have the right to put our destiny in faith which we do not foresee?
