THE CLIMB

It's time to stop circling the mountain

and make the climb

It's as simple as a shift in mind

Time to stop blaming them for your plight

Time to love yourself in-spite of your flaws

I know what they did

but you were the cause

Time to stop lying and using people

Stop hurting yourself

And do right by you

Relationships can get pretty stormy

Trying to fold them like origami

You can't fix everything with I'm sorry

Sometimes we suffer the worst

Decisions made on the spur

Continue to impact life long after conception

We must carefully weigh our decisions

Before they cause us division of the worst kind

Between the spiritual and mankind

One shouldn't be so blind they can't see

The only enemy they possess

Is in the heart they carry in their chest...

- Moshia Pen

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....

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.

IT'S NO COINCIDENCE

Fresh like morning coffee

Brewing in life's kitchen

My mind is alert and sharp

Like a candle in the dark

held high

I view the open sky with amusement

It's no coincidence

That the ether and I are kin

We are both made of the same thing

Dark matter

And darkness matters more than you think

Use your instincts

Let them guide you

To the god that lives inside you

Inside us all

It's no coincidence

That we need each other

We are all one

With the same mother

EARTH...

-Moshia'

INSECURITY

Your motive for action

Is lacking in substance

It's surely a nuisance

Brutal and judgmental

Assumptions rule

Facts far removed

The rhythm escaped us

Out of sync and awkward

now moving backward

Undoing good deeds

Up-rooting seeds

Of promise

My Character crucified

Under the cracked sky

Love is an obstacle

Packed with lessons to learn

Tomorrow may find me wiser

But today I got burned

If you learned anything

The last round was worth it

Love is a battlefield

There's No way to skirt it

In the end

who deserves this

Degradation that demoralizes us

Leaving us transfixed

Unhealthy thoughts permeating

And emotions running rampant

Cloying at beauty and wonder

Ripping love asunder

Tears well up in my eyes

Creating oceans

Losing sight of me

Going through the motions

All in my mind

When nurtured

manifested

Mother nature blessed it

I thought we were the best fit

Then fear moved in

The roof caved in

All was lost...

-Moshia'

Perfect love casts out all fear.......

SHATTERED

Today I feel quiet

Reserved even

Heart's bleeding

I sometimes resent it

The one who sent it

With no instructions

How do I repair it

When it's all in pieces

What is the purpose

Of all this

Holding it makes me nervous

Why can't it behave

Enslaved to the rhythm

Entangled in the beat

Always on the hunt

For something sweet

No rest for the loveless

Heart's unruly

Trusting the thief

To run away with my goods

Leaving behind thorns and thistles

Eyes that drizzle

Acid rain

Energy drained

Broken to the core

Love no more...

-Moshia'
