Words are Windows (or They're Walls)

I adore this poem so much, since first I read it, years ago. Taken from Marshall Rosenberg's book "Nonviolent Communications"; never get bored to re-write and repeat it..




Words are Windows (or They're Walls)
by Ruth Bebermeyer


I feel so sentenced by your words,
I feel so judged and sent away,
Before I go I’ve got to know
Is that what you mean to say?


Before I rise to my defense,
Before I speak in hurt or fear,
Before I build that wall of words,
Tell me, did I really hear?


Words are windows, or they’re walls,
They sentence us, or set us free.
When I speak and when I hear,
Let the love light shine through me.


There are things I need to say,
Things that mean so much to me,
If my words don’t make me clear,
Will you help me to be free?


If I seemed to put you down,
If you felt I didn’t care,
Try to listen through my words
To the feelings that we share.

because of L O V E

because of Love, 

I forgive myself

and others who scratched my heart..

because of Love,

I beg forgiveness in Myself

and others who were injured by me,

by my words, behavior,

and my mind..

Love is the bridge

between the separate hearts..

Love is the rope

connecting the ‘missing link’..

Love is

the highest frequency and dimensions,

to be able to tear down the high walls,

strong,

and proud ..

and open the closed door,

numb,

and dumb ...

by Love,

no anger that is not lost ..

by Love,

no pain is not treated ..

by Love,

no heart that does not vibrate ..

between the bitterness of Love..

strengthen and soften Love 

..Love is the light in soul 

..Love is pure,

deep,

and without ego adorned,

is the highest spiritual beings ...

............ for Love, I apologize and forgive ...........

a bracelet time

-a bracelet time-

a
bracelet  

.. and
a time

and when
the time

has come

..
this is the time

flies by

over d bliss

knowing not..

how things happen

d rhyme of  

.. a counter time

time after time

a
bracelet time

an
undestination journey

a
circle..

tied
knot

sheltered
the loop

braided beauty,

forever
bound

a precious symbol

of
undefined friendship

and when
the time

has.. finally
to come

..
this is the time

an
end of.. nothing

for d reason of knowing that

we will always 'be there'

whenever we need to

until then

some people

some people come into our lives
and leave footprints on our hearts
and we are never ever the same..

some people come into our lives
and quickly go...
some stay for awhile
and embrace our silent dreams..

they help us become aware
of d delicate winds of hope..
and we discover within every human spirit
there are wings yearning to fly..

they help our hearts to see
that d only stairway to d stars
is woven with dreams..
and we find ourselves
unafraid to reach high

they celebrate d true essence
of who we are..
and have faith in all
that we may become..

some people awaken us
to new and deeper realizations..
for we gain insight
from d passing whisper of their wisdom

throughout our lives we are sent
precious souls..
meant to share our journey
however brief or lasting their stay
they remind us why we are here

to learn..
to teach..
to nurture..
to love

some people come into our lives
to cast a steady light
upon our path and guide our every step
their shining belief in us
helps us to believe in ourselves..

some people come into our
lives to teach us about love..
d love that rests within ourselves

let us reach out to others
and feel d bliss of giving
for love is far richer in action
that it ever is in words.

some people come into our lives
and they move our souls to sing
and make our spirits dance..

they help us to see
that everything on earth
is part of the incredibility of life..
and that it is always there
for us to take of its joy..

some people come into our lives
and leave footprints on our hearts
and we are never ever d same..

asa

.. berharap pada bintang..
menggantung asa,
pada rembulan..

tersaput kisi angin,
dingin..

.. andai jawab terungkap ..

menjadi kata.


gema suara.
terngiang..

kaisan itu.. menuai tanya..
tanpa tanda

-PDMD

mother's love

her love is like.. an island.. in life's ocean,
vast and wide..

a peaceful,
quiet shelter

from the wind,
the rain,
the tide..

'tis bound on the North.. by Hope,

by Patience on the West,

by Tender Counsel.. on the South

and on the East..

by Rest..

above it..

like a beacon light..

shine Faith, and Truth,
and Prayer;

and thro' the changing scenes.. of life
I find a heaven there.
