  • Heave Silence

    words recede
    when darkness settles
    and sound is heard only at the edges
    muffled though they be…
    silent sobs and absolute grief
    louder in my senses
    than gunshots and shouts of jubilation
    because we all know where hate takes us
    but only some will see it
    guess it’s only visible…
    from the barrel end of a gun
    to…Read More

    • It sounds like moment of redemption. The darkness seems to have control it all.

      It talks about gunshots, shouts of jubilation over hate, and staying “triggered.” It’s that “eye for an eye” energy where the fight never ends because everyone is “just warming up” to hurt each other back.

      • The only way to fight hate is with love and compassion. Standing together in the face of adversity and having each other’s back.

        • Yes exactly… With love always to defeat against the darkness that will not win. Good write keep it up .

    • The title sums it up. We all know where hate takes us. We do and some try their best to stay away from it and others well…

      • Others seem to relish it. Does make me wonder what deficit is within them that they think they need to fill it with hate. Thank you, Fia 😊

    • Daddy taught me how to shoot because he said it was important to know how to protect myself if I ever needed to. He also said the first thing I needed to know was that if I’m not going to be able to use it, it will be used against me so I should probably never get one. I’ve stuck by that philosophy since that day. Thank you, Brenda 🧡

    • Your writing is always very deep and this is no exception. Your details of the connection between them is profound indeed and based in love and a memory of him that will never be lost or corrupted. Any comment I can give on this is not enough. There’s so much said here. Great writing, Styx.

      • Thank you Tim. It was a lot of work, including jotting down little notes while working at my job thursday and friday. I do maintenance at an older apartment complex, very busy most of the time. But, the creative ideas wait for no work. LOL.
        I know that this write, because of the title, the header picture, etc, will keep many people away. But I hope those who do read it get something positive from it. There are several gospels not in the bible, some called the gnostics, that tell much different stories from the traditional ones picked to be in the King James version. The version of Mary M being His wife is in some of them. So, who really knows by now.
        And, I am beating myself up over a part three! Do I, do I not. Grrrr.
        I sincerely appreciate your generous comment, Tim. And what you did say is enough. It is awesome.

    • How to start with this. This is excellent!
      Your interpretation of how she adored and suffered his life and loss is truly amazing. A weaving journey through her thought process. How the world can exhaust even the strongest of spiritual character but away from prying eyes, he remembers the blessings of also being human.

      These are gems baby! Honestly:)
      Needs to be put in your book!

      • You knew how much these two writes were beating me up. Lots of editing and hacking, even a few minutes ago. I had a very specific vision of what I wanted it to say. I think I succeeded, after all the edits of course.
        And, the part three…. I dunno. I’m going to chill on it awhile.
        I am so fortunate to have you in my creative journeys. Because you do the same things and can relate to it all.
        I love you immensely!

    • And I, sir, appreciate your steady support of my efforts here. I try my best to make them matter. So thank you.

    • So, when I finished reading this, I took a deep breath and said, “Jesus!”. And then I laughed to myself, because I was only saying it as an exclamation about your writing and not as a statement of the subject… LOL.

      Anyway, this is just beautiful. Not much more I can say. Thank you for sharing it.
      ❤️k

      • LOL !! I purposely avoided using his name in any form. Because it is about Mary’s feelings in dealing with it all. The very human aspect of someone dealing with such a weight added to a relationship. Like dating someone famous, etc., then losing them. Obviously it is on a grander stage. But being human has its basic emotions for all.
        Its so good to see ya! Rock star!

  • Absorbing the Cost…

    when the choice is required
    and compromise is not an option
    do you choose to soothe your own pain?
    or that of others?
