My early morning post relates to the courage to embrace who you really are.
Many avoid doing so, and must fall endlessly in the void, as they trespass through this life.
Title:
As Above
As Below
Do devils and angels huddle around their monotone radios and quietly listen
As silent prayers are expressed and confessed
While waiting to help the weak
Corrupt or the oppressed
Do Devil's eyes glisten
As young and old fools gather
While devious deeds are goaded and corruptions sweet pills
Are simultaneously swallowed
By some as they quietly suggest
Do Angels wait to be invited in
To bring more hope
Instead of sin
For those needing something else special
To cope
Do they all stand around wherever they are
With some praying and some laughing to see
Who'll win the bet
Do we all involuntarily shudder
Caused by this complex life we contest
While we carry invisible tokens of our inevitable unseen guests
Linked to the good and the bad
The path may twist
As you stroll through its ever-changing strange roads
The toll booths may still need its payments in kind
The unearthly radios may relay your lamination's and prayers
But just walk on beneath their jubilant stares
They can but wait above or below
Until you get there
This life was never meant to be a paradigm
Filled with the realistic or fair
It all depends upon the attitude you wear
In all weathers
When the clouds break and the bright lights herald a touch of a new dawn
Embrace all you are and why you were born
To help others
And yourself
And try to only listen
To those angels with wings of white feathers
Not those
Whose red eyes glisten
