Naught, but loss
in a world of thoughts,
the soul;
it cringing -- shrieks,
calling to a world so bleak.

Setting like a thousand suns,
the failed wrath of two thousand kings;
silent chanting of four thousand cherubs...
these are the words we bleed.

And flailing, it flies,
as if it does not know,
that the return itself,
breaks the one it owns,
(with sorrow piercing its bones.)

Setting like a thousand suns,
the failed wrath of two thousand kings;
silent chanting of four thousand cherubs...
these are the words we bleed.

Rotted urn (where it is held),
like an anchor at the bottom of the sea,
in our flesh held fast (bound and lashed,)
so it can never run or be free.

Setting like a thousand suns,
the failed wrath of two thousand kings;
silent chanting of four thousand cherubs...
these are the words we bleed.

Favorite Quote:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn&#039;t serve the world. There&#039;s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It&#039;s not just in some of us, it&#039;s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.<br /> -Marianne Williamson
