Lose the Stone
Lose the stone in your heart.
Don’t let it become a marble statue.
Keep it soft as a rose.
Turn the other cheek.
Take a stroll to the shore.
You will not regret a single step.
Is your heart a flower
or the worm that feeds?
Don’t keep your heart hidden.
Let the pain in. Let the pain out.
Master the blows and
lose the stone in your heart.
Sometimes Things Happen
Don’t pursue.
Give up.
Things won’t
work out.
Protect your
heart and
everything
will be fine.
Sometimes things
happen
like luck,
sometimes.
The Painter
He took something out of thin air
and filled it with fire and he watched
the flames fill his landscape
creating something of beauty.
He made the stones come alive
and chiseled them down with his brush.
All the gods claimed him as their pupil,
but he never acknowledged them.
So many gods became enraged
and they tossed stones at his work.
He was cursed and went blind.
All the gods laughed and rejoiced.
The blind painter continued his craft,
breaking the curse and shaping
images never seen in this world.
All the gods echoed their displeasure.
