Press play before reading. Salute.
(A tired voice whispers from Shoel)
Did you know your soul can become so weak
From stumbling knee-deep through familiar streams of injustices
That you are powerless to fix each week
And that sometimes beauty can only be found
Lying in the total surrender to that magnificent thought
Since in the end
You can find happiness in all the weary battles you've previously fought
If you're prepared to accept two crucial things in your heart
Number One
Powerlessness has always been a friendly stranger
In unvisited parts of people’s karma in life
Only if you're brave and gracious enough to accept it
For there is no point in fighting it
For in the intense emotions of your internal crusades
You can abandon the very softness
The substance that offers you
Self-acceptance and a chance of spiritual salvation
To break free from the singing Dark Angels in the Black Parade
The other is Love
Reconcile yourself to looking for Love
For waiting for Karma to visit the Outsiders who plague you
Will offer little respite
No matter how long you stay up and pray hard
In the middle of each lonely night
Look instead to create magical monumental moments
For as long as you have Memories filled with incredible grace
Such as one of God's many lieutenants
Days of yesteryears will always appear and stay
From reflections of adolescents
Parents to Descendants and even dependants
And no matter who might have crossed over lifes threshold into here
The Great In-Between
You'll always be able to once again see their beloved face
Because as long as you carry Hope deep in your soul
Tomorrow will always
Like a priceless piece of art
Try to find a way to put together whatever previously fell apart
So as long as you have some sort of Love
Family or Friends
Even anything curious that makes your soul sing
Then today of all days could be simply glorious
For the most beautiful things in the entire World cannot be touched or seen
But only felt within your beating heart
Never for one second stop believing in miracles
They happen every day
In some strange way that's why you're still reading this
Hopefully under a warm sun
For you are approximately 100 to 300 million to One
I know for I've seen the biological sums
Sometimes, people are really beautiful, not in looks but in what they do
And I can see you're one of those rare beautiful people
Who exudes real glamour through Kindness and her many other sisters
Compassion and Empathy
So here's my prayer to help you manifest your destiny
Repeat three times as you wake before walking through your life's busy gates
To be happy in my Life
I will expand my happiness and rejoice within every single moment
For I'm born every single morning
From the deep sleep of rebirth
And what I do then is what inspires others
Here on this Earth
Lord
Wherever you are
Or whatever you are
Give me the strength as I walk towards you
Surround me with love and light
To help me and others get through our darkest nights
Until I see you again
Watch over us all
Amen
