Where can I find meaning?


Where can I find meaning?
Is it covered by the clouds, or hidden behind the sun?
Is it at the end of the rainbows, or on top of the highest mountain?
Is it at the foot of a pyramid, or concealed in a rock or boulder?

How did others find meaning - such that lasts?
Is it under the priest's cassock or a nun's veil?
Is it tied in the string of a preacher's words, or squeezed between a writer's lines?
Is it at the tip of a child's smile, or in the breath of a dying old man?

And what if I would be able to see behind the clouds and the sun,
reach the end of the rainbows, and stand at the peak of the highest mountain,
lift pyramids, and crack all the rocks and boulders in the world?

Or what if I could look under a priest's cassock or a nun's veil,
unknot a preacher's words, and get in between a writer's lines,
touch the tip of a child's smile, and catch the breath of a dying old man?

Would I know if it's meaning I would behold or hold in my hand?
Would I know that I have found it?

Trust Me.



Trust me.

Trust me in the stillness of everything.
Where there is calmness and peace, there I am moving.
Feel my presence.
Hear my whispers.

Trust me.

How many times should I prove my love for you?
Embrace this moment's uncertainty,
and have faith in me.
I know your heart.

Just trust me.

I love you, child.
Trust in my heart.
I promise, I have great plans for you.
Know that I've been listening to your prayers,
and I'm working on it.

Trust me.

Must I regret



I am asking you,
must I regret?

Must I regret that I thought of you more than you thought of me,
or that I wanted to be with you more than you wanted to be with me?

Must I regret that I told you how much I cared,
or that I wanted you to at least care too?

Must I regret that I waited for you,
or that I assumed that you'd be happy to know I was waiting?

Must I regret that I let myself be deeply hurt by you?
or that I gave you chance for an nth time?

Must I regret that I loved you this much,
or that I let you know it?

Please tell me,
must I regret?

But should I regret now though I know
that just regretting is the worst I can do?
