Spirit’s Voice

Come my brothers, my sisters
Come all the children of this land
Come sit by my fire as night closes around us
Watch the flames pushing the smoke toward the star lit sky
Feel the hope swelling within as we send our prayers riding the smoke
Smoke the messenger carrying the prayers to the great mystery above
Sit quietly wrapped in [...]

An Answer of Sorts

There is so much wrong with the world.
There is no hope for tomorrow.
The people have lost their way.
We must war on all the bad.
There is no future for our youth.
No future for mankind!
You have heard it so much that you believe it true.
Despair and foreboding fill you.
And hope fades, as [...]

It Must Be True

So many, so often…
It flashes across the television
The criers acclaim it as they sell their papers on the streets
The masses demand justice in retribution for it
So it must be true…
I hear it whispered in the dark
Rumors flying like the wind bear testimony
Our leaders stand witness to the travesty
So it must be true…
The Bibles and Qurans [...]

The Lost One and The Road Back

I am lost, and I have to find my way back
I have journeyed into a darkness of my own making
A darkness that I sorely needed
Needed to escape from another darkness too impenetrable to bear
An ending so heartbreaking and soul rendering that I could not abide
So I ran. I had to run, for pain and [...]

The Search Ends

Passion burning
Ever building
Age long search for the one
Must quench this fire
Ever glowing embers
Nothing inside but the burn
Must find her at last
Intertwine our journeys
Two souls bonding as one
But the walls are there
All the painful reminders
Hurts from a far-flung time
I’m hesitant and shy
I don’t want to cry
Afraid to reach out again
But I need her beside me
My life [...]

The Searcher

At that instance, the briefest second of time
That first moment when the mind is fully opened
The infinite spirit of the universe finally revealed
My soul left wanting, to wander and hunt
Dazed and confused, always the search
Need to find new teachers and friends
Do you too yet seek?
Steve ‘Easy’ Whitacre December 23rd, 2007

The Challenge From Within

I am the darkness within
I hold precious your pain
Remembering the false and venerate past
Replaying it again and again
Perhaps at some future time
At a crossroads of mental low
You may figure it out
But until or if then
I will hold all the control
You may tell yourself the lies
Tell yourself until you almost believe
That false fulfillment of life, of [...]

Stuck Outside

It’s time again, time to come down
I am perched on the ledge, deep bottomless depths
Inside myself, I know what I should do, need to do
But I can’t, too afraid to face that edge, fear of that fall
The mirror shows me starkness, honest to eyes
Lost, wasted, faded shell of what I was
Vast disappointment in the person [...]
