From the miserable rises

by David

Life keeps surprising me

with how the most amazing things

can come from

awful situations

how the most beautiful flowers

grow on desolate lands

and the kindest of people rise

from the worst of circumstance

how the first trees grow after a wildfire

rising from the ashes of their parents

and instead of weeping at their loss

grow to stand as proud as them

when they break through ash and dust

to see the sun their fathers loved

and taste the rain their mothers lost

and grow to stand and rise above

'cause keeping on is all they've got

when even in the depths of hell

a lover finds a simple smile

and as a small an act as a helping hand

can you help you stay afloat a while

For the world has beauty in its loss

and death is always somethings birth

because I know the Gods have hearts

when right after the sun has set

the entire sky is painted bright with stars

I was a Castle

I was a Castle by David I can give you all the void that I have left The hole where I used to be you might find treasure in the ruins remnants that were part of me Its not your duty to rebuild what I was or even awe at whats now left and no matter how much I need you Ill let you leave if you think its best If you however still decide to pick up hammer, brick and mortar to build along me by my side and push yourself to going forward If you can manage to navigate me to get hurt by the dangers that I keep by words that fall from rotten beams and dragons that are still asleep If loving me is not too much and I am not to small for you If you decide to be with me there is nothing I wont do This was written on Valentines Day February 2024

The humble beginning of the fire moves my bones as I dance, with the wind of the East- knitting it's fingers through me as we sway. Now I see, baby you needn't do it for me. I shine brighter then what they can tolerate to see! The Western sun shines over the poles as I look through my fingers and feed the sea with the tears that tumble down - burning from the wind Joana Written on one those afternoons, May 2023
