On Being Right

Everyone has the right to be wrong
To read a different page
To sing a different song.

So before you attempt to correct another
Check to see if you are
Truer than your brother

Then pass up this correction of another
For everyone has the right to be wrong

Lekatt

Those who willfully hate
Will not see the open gate
Into the peaceful garden
Of love’s forgiving pardon.

Lekatt

Rain descended into ice
And lay down upon the trees
Coating their branches crystal
White, with an appallingly freeze

Tree limbs swayed neath the weight
Moaning low in icy despair
Yet layer on layer grew the ice
‘til the burden became too great

Stooped low over frozen ground
Branches at that angle strained
Noble stance deformed to bow
Soon the wood began to break

Dreadful dissonance voices
from all sections of the town
Pops, cracks, and loud crashes
as the icy wood broke and fell

Wood landed on the rooftops
And on the power lines too
Punching holes and snapping
Lines spreading darkness through

Cars smashed, tall fences cleaved
Streets filled with fallen wood
Roads blocked, street lights out
Near panic quickly ensued

Sirens sounded, emergency
Vehicles thwarted by the wood
Tree crews clearing out a path
Before they could drive through

During the night mayhem ruled
Finally ceasing in the morn
A vast city lay mangled
Slowly crushed by icy storm

Depression is collapse
to negative thinking.
Beliefs containing hopeless
thoughts insure sinking.

Spiraling low into
deep emotional pain,
your energy and strength
disappear down the drain.

Stop. Check the endless flow.
Life need not be bizarre.
Stop. Take a look within.
Remember who you are.

Light of our Creator
smiles bright within your soul,
Alpha and Omega,
Eternity unfolds.

You walk safe through Forever,
wrapped secure in Love’s light.
Nothing to fear from nothing.
Compassion ends each fright.
