Division

The dam broke

Leaking lies all over

Unearthing resentment

And shrugged shoulders

The tales spun

Spun out of control

Emotions arose and swallowed them whole

Deep in angers belly

War was conjured

But they didn't anticipate the casualties in the end

Their families and children

Everything they were building

ripped to shreds

The whole house divided by itself

Then fell in a rubble

The foundation was unstable to begin with

How can one build on deception and drama

When we must answer to karma in the end

How could you love her

if you were never even friends

Explain...

From Reflections: Enter the mind of a broken Butterfly by Moshia Pen

THE CALM AFTER THE STORM

After rage has subsided

Acceptance creeps into

The shattered heart

Allowing the battered parts

To seek healing

From feeling exhausted

Winter defrosted

Let the sun shine in

Time to smile again....

-Moshia Pen

Your joy factor will remain constant as you are continually refining your ideas of what you want, and that's why it is so important for you to get everybody else out of the equation. They've got their own game going on; they don't understand your game. Give them a break; stop asking them what they think. Start paying attention to how you feel. Joy will be yours immediately, and everything else that you have ever thought would make you happy, will start flowing, seemingly effortlessly, into your experience.
