Aiding Lives

Freedom from Captivity

Living within me,

Sorrow breeded pain.
Could not tell any,
Thoughts stored inside brain.

My chosen best friend,
Until heavy rains.
Stopped hurting that way,
Thankfully for gains.

Things I never told,
Better left unknown.
Forgiveness will come,
Reaping what was sown.

Learned many lessons,
Believed you were true.
Parted before death,
Peace long overdue.

Always deceptive,
Stabbed worse than a knife.
Bloody heart transfused,
Enabling life.

Restoring of gifts,
Found giving revives.
Healing brought wisdom,
Knowledge aiding lives.

Money Will Not Change Loneliness ~ Morgan Freeman Video

Rich, Sick, or Lonely - What is evil?

While listening/watching to the above video regarding money not being enough by Morgan Freeman, I recognized his words were similar with recent written #DawnThoughts in my notebook.

The fact I wrote things being seen and heard was additional evidence of how our human souls connect.

I had just finished writing "egomaniacs" and my mother called for me.

Initially, I was irritated because this mind (an experience other writers can understand) was flowing. 

I went since all things occurring (good and bad) lately, seem to be quite purposeful for me.

I sat in awe hearing personal thoughts from voice of a man privately called my, "Motion Picture Daddy."

Life is short and money will not buy a lack of loneliness. We experience love by loving unconditionally, with heart and #SOWL.

"Love one another as yourself." 

A commandment seemingly forgotten based on greed, selfish ways, and insecurity.

I believe when we learn to start loving ourselves, real love shall begin flowing in, out, and through us.

Is What You Believe True?

Once I was a #Princess now I'm a #Queen 👑

There once was an Angel,
Struggling more each day.
Difficulties daily,

Especially to pray.

Problems all beginning,

By refusing to sing.
Denying a reason,

But broke part of one wing.

Throughout an existence,

Forever being told.

"Protect both wings always,
Carefully unfold."

Confusion never faced,
Feelings of inner strife.

Knowledge was conflicting,

Based on teachings in life.

"Wings are two perfect gifts,

Defining who you are.

When wing is imperfect,

Failed, lost light like a star."

Thinking every moment,

"Did my mind believe wrong?

Such harmonious sounds,

In tune with each song?"

Focused on solutions,
Bring worry to an end.
Pondered roots of faith,

Now could not comprehend.

Left home seeking for truth,

Searched, studied, learned, plus grew.

Developing knowledge,

 Foundationally true.

Dawn discovered wisdom,

Information adored.

Returned after journey,
With self-esteem restored.

Anticipated trials,
Heart's desire to teach.

Any who would listen,

Beyond her voice's reach.

Hateful sounds of whispers,
Yet fiercely pushed through crowds.

Sensed her heart smile brightly,

Lacked dimness from dark clouds.

Strutted in stadium,

Feeling nervous but proud.

Prepared hearing their words, 

"This should not be allowed."

Shouting, "Impossible,"
Envious judging brains!

"She glows and is shining,
No evidence of pains?"

Educational lies,

Superstitions were told.

Singing sweet melodies,
 Just one wing to unfold.

Overcoming issues,

Helped Angels as they grew.

Dawn's experience proved,

Facts elders never knew.

She taught learn by asking,

Explore questions with man.

Gain insight together,

To better understand.

When did ideas begin,

Belief of thoughts we do?
 Be prepared to answer,

"Is what you believe true?"

Mommy Showing The Way

Dedicated to the mother of #SOWL ❤ #NoH8 family! "Don't Worry About a Thing..." #ShoutOutWithLove! ❤

I am a WOMAN now,

But still yes your one child.

Again thinking of you,

Tends to bring a huge smile.

Along our journey,

At times we became mad.

Seeing selves as HUMAN,

Left us empty or sad.

Simplicity of thoughts,

Neither really did know.
Good intent not harmful,

Only for me to GROW.

Love is what we needed,

However received pain.

Yet continued to LOVE,

Despite the lack of gain.

HEALER dwelled in both hearts,

Staying on our side.

Providing while leaches,

Were there just for a ride.

Spirit filled with such strength,

This woman that I see.

Mentor OVER-COMER,

From life's atrocity.

Keep STANDING on those feet,

Fight hard like your mother.
Helping me break cycle,

Abused from another.

Since FAITH is the substance,

Here today I can say.

Learning love in spite of,

Mommy showing the way!

I do not pretend,

My true love is free.

Show you cherishment,

Yet still fearing me.

Hurting always comes,

But not purposely.

If ever did so,

Knowledge will foresee.

This heart is open,

Loving even now.

Doubting truth aware,

In need of a vow?

Oh was done before,

They were not to last.

Reality says,

Leave back there in past.

We making all work,

Like no others can.

Standing together,

Hold a strong hand.

Set limitations,

 Should no more I take?

Thinking getting close,

Decisions to make.

YOU CAN DO IT

~An Angel's tears
within the rain~
~Her heart in fear

for those in pain~

~Wings spread wide

to cover those~

~Calming cries

within their Souls~

~She walks with them

in shadows hide~

~An Angel’s hymn

she does recite~

~Guide me Lord

to keep them safe~

~By your accord

their every wake~

~No mountain high

nor valley low~

~Shall keep my flight

from calming Souls~

~She spreads her wings

in calming peace~

~Amen she sings

with Heaven’s glee~

I Feel Such Pain

Mr and Mrs Raj

~My hunger grows

to be at ease~

~My mortal soul

is not at peace~

~I feel such pain

from years gone past~

~My mind insaned

my body quakes~

to be at ease~

~My mortal soul

he gave me life~

~To wield his sword

and end this strife~

~To cleanse my soul

and ease my pain~

~To make me whole

be not insaned~

We Can Receive

Open up your mind,

And let me inside.

Imagine the things,

You won't have to hide.

A secret keeper,

Forever I will be.

Sharing fantasies,

All are safe with me.

I know it's scary,

But please do not fear.

Whatsoever done,

Shall remain right here.

Ask me a question,

To help you believe.

I'll only tell truth,

Then we can receive.

The Lie

Hey there ugly pain,

We're finally through.

Always doing those,

Certain things you do.

Strategically placed,

While holding a hand.

An adversary,

Kept taking demand.

Thoughts were forgotten,

Hidden high on shelf.

Cannibalism,

Used to hate myself.

Assignment exposed,

Because you're untrue.

Buried in this heart,

No one had a clue.

I kept all secrets,

Issues couldn't tell.

In that created,

My own living hell.

Fruit dwells in Spirit,

Therefore pain must die.

Complete, whole and free,

Not living the lie.

Let Our Love Show

My family members aren't only related by blood. Thank you for wanting me in your life. #SOWL 💛

Family love is important,

Forever not just seasons.

Generations of people,
Born for specific reasons.

No matter your past mistake,

Stay strong remain united.

Value our foundation,

Committed not divided.

Too much distance between us,
Open wounds never discussed.
Understood we spread apart,
Challenging for us to trust.

"Never say never" they say,
Perhaps if we start to speak.

Our instances "never,"

May cease someone getting weak.

Be there for one another,

Overcome someone's worry.

Togetherness assisting,

See clearer much less blurry.

Hope, prayer or a kind word,

Could be all that we might need.

Support is not difficult,

Rather quite simple indeed.

Seeing it for what it is,

Generation curses tricks.

Families are eternal,

These days we can even pick.

Individual choices,

Fixing issues of the heart.

Forgiveness an awesome gift,

When everyone does their part.

I adore my family,

Desiring you all know.

We deserve lives filled with peace,

Time to let our love show.

Heart Remains With Me

How on this vast earth,

Making you believe?

Sending me a text,

Gives rights to receive.

So what we go back,

A new year and day.

Sure don't know me now,

Diamonds do not play.

You're ridiculous,

After all these years.

Thought you knew me best,

I shared most my fears.

The pain has helped me,

Value myself more.

Just because you knock,

Won't come in this door.

On my own stronger,

I glance back on past.

Smiling from my heart,

I'm first prize not last.

Wish it was different,

But things can't change now.

You received chances,

Had to break that vow.

Not still in bondage,

Struggle being free.

My mind needs love first,

HEART remains with me.

Me and You

Love is more than a feeling,

Decisions made in the heart.

When you are truly in love,

Two beings should never part.

It's an eternal concept,

Sometimes hard to comprehend.

When you find it hold on tight,

Then it never has to end.

Phenomenon about Love,

High ups conversely low downs.

Many have loved also lost,

Difficult sticking around.

I have loved and then I lost,

I am certain you have too.

Yet had we not lost those loves,

There would be no Me and You.

Then and Now

Heart ♡ Warrior
♡ My Ker Bear ♡

Remember how my heart smiled,

Just the very thought of you.

There was not a rainy day,

The skies always brighter blue.

Simply hearing sound of your voice,

Better than any sunshine.

Believing impossible,

Knew you were finally mine.

Now a grey sky hovering,

Like storms that will never end.

Evil is such a liar,

And soul had to comprehend.

This struggle shall pass along,

Like many of those before.

My strength is in my Savior,

I don't need you anymore.
