dhdaily's blog: "Secrets"

Secrets in the closet my secrets deeply hide afraid of the light of day or to damage my pride in some irreparable way some barely touch the skin satiny soft hidden below some secrets like a sin that too well we know snug in the closets of the mind safe from some prying eyes hoping that no one will find the truth behind the lies so much that we hide secreted even from ourselves that powers our stride as we walk among the others The passions, the yearnings the forgotten desires that fuel our present yearnings consumed in emotional fires :)dh 2008 I don't usually write dark poems, or discuss the less savory aspects of behaviours. I tend to be a child of the light and believe my purpose to make people smile, build people up, encourage them to dream and to achieve their dreams. I do believe that we were meant to live for so much more... on so many levels. But alas I am a very small person in a very large world. I too have my fears, my failures, my shortcomings, and I hide my little secrets in the deep dark dungeons of my mind. My little indiscretions, my failures to take a positive action, my lusts, my unrealized dreams and passions, are all neatly accounted for, categorized, labeled and stacked into orderly boxes that have been shipped down to be stacked in the closets of the dungeons. There are days when I realize just how pathetic I am, and forget to forgive myself. Then I realize that despite all my faults, despite all my failures, despite all the people I have ever hurt, lied to, let down or failed, I am loved....... If I can be loved despite all that, then I can forgive myself and forgive others. If I am worthy of being loved, then everyone is worthy of being loved. There are 10 billion people on this planet. Could you imagine the change if all 10 billion felt loved? Lives can be changed through the power of love... sometimes a friendly smile at the right time can make a world of difference. Smile at strangers, lend a hand to your neighbors, invite a friend to worship, share a meal with a friend. Have a Great day and a Wonderful Weekend. ;)dh
