Like tears in rain – v6 #BladeRunner #Alzheimers #Dementia

A silent scream of loss, of regret,
of losing control, existence,
in our inner self, our identity,
Flowing out of us, pouring,
Becoming perfect, dissolution…
into a great unknown…

Like tears in rain, waters intermingled,
melting, sharing, dissolving, dispersing,
moments, lost in oblivion, in minutes,
falling into nothingness, union,
Who we were in life…
seemingly Lost in time...

Our lives, our memories, our essence,
becoming part of a vast ocean, water,
the pool of the universe, matter,
of time and infinite space,
An expiration date, a release…
Eternity, a pool deep, profound...

Like tears in rain, waters intermingled,
melting, sharing, dissolving, dispersing,
moments, lost in oblivion, in minutes,
falling into nothingness, union,
Who we were in life…
seemingly Lost in time...

One with the living waters, blending,
a place of peace and happiness,
Eternity, an ocean, spreading,
perfect dilution, immortality -
Heaven, becoming eternal…
one with the universe…

When it is our time to die…

Awakening the Muse – v3

Asleep within me, the muse of my heart
You, oh Holy Spirit, waiting for me,
Looking within, the words still there, waiting,
finding voice, freedom, when I still myself to Thee.
 
Speak to me, Holy Spirit eternal,
give me Your words to offer, to share,
find me willing, in the quiet of my soul, my spirit,
teach me to share Your message, Love to the world.

Letting the Words Loose

Flowing, a wellspring rising,
letting loose the torrent,
the fountain of Your love…
 
Spirit speak through me,
convey God’s true nature,
in the words You give me,
to share with the world…

Like tears in rain – v5

Like tears in rain, waters intermingled,
melting, sharing, dissolving, dispersing,
moments, lost in oblivion, in minutes,
falling into nothingness, union,
Seemingly Lost in time...
 
Our lives, our memories, our essence,
becoming part of a vast ocean, water,
the pool of the universe, matter,
of time and infinite space,
Eternity, a pool deep, profound...
 
Like tears in rain, waters intermingled,
melting, dissolving, dispersing,
moments, lost in oblivion, in minutes,
falling into nothingness, union,
Seemingly Lost in time...
 
One with the living waters, blending,
a place of peace and happiness,
Eternity, an ocean, spreading,
perfect dilution, immortality -
nirvana, becoming eternal…
 
When it is our time to die.
