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

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

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 🧡

12th in Emptiness, Oblivion, and the Breeze That Knows Too Much
April 12th rises
like a hollow bowl.
A day carved out of absence,
light as a rib,
quiet as a room
after everyone has left
but the air still remembers
their names.This is the day of emptiness
not the cruel kind,
not the collapsing void,
but the soft, spacious…Read More3 Comments-

Some people grow with an appreciation for their maker, and others drift through life. Good one, and a lovely photo. 🙂

This reminds me of a conversation I had with my friend once. I said “If my friend is going under, I’m going in after them.” And his reply was “Wow, not a lot of people are willing to enter darkness for the sake of someone else.” Which might be part of the world’s problems, in my opinion. This has a lot of depth and compassion in it

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.
