2001 HEARTBEATS




maybe dec 16
maybe now
maybe then







  more than a hundred days and still...

I am still











there could have been something made of the life I loved
(there still can be)
if I would have found someone willing to overcome
(you still can)
all the pains life can be and the fear of more
betrayals
abandonments
cruelties
useries
abuses of trust
and the power trust gives

all losses of faith
all losses of hope
all losses of power
perhaps the most profound power of all
the power to give
the power to trust

trust is the receiving side of love
without trust, receiving is conditional
dependant on the level of trust

no matter how unconditionally love is given
the mother loving her newborn child
(surely the newborn isn't trusted to do much)
the supposed god loving his so-called children
(maybe not as clear an example)
it is trust that allows receipt of such love
and trust expands to faith when continued in the absence of proof or reason

the newborn, without thought (or reason or proof)
unconsciously trusts
feed me
bathe me
hold me

betrayal soon comes in the form of minor neglects
the infant learns he or she is not the center of the universe
but what is believed?
when does conscious awareness of being begin?
and when does it dissolve into blind faith?

for many the transition is one step
the eyes never open
free will is never known
the decision to trust is never made
it remains instinct, following the blind

but the mind, once opened to awareness, can not be closed
it can be destroyed
muffled, stifled, drugged and beaten down
conditioned to ignore senses and distort perception
and therein diminish conscious awareness
but the mind still knows

the mind, once opened to knowledge, has knowledge
storage is memory
forgetting is easily practiced and often mastered
to fit in
to conform
to give up

because
broken promises make broken dreams
broken dreams consume hope and light
left with darkness and despair
it becomes so hard to care
survival seems to become a fight
giving up is the only rest for the weary tonight
lighten up









but what if I gave something
and what if I believed in you
