Gratitude is a burden upon our imperfect nature, and we are but too willing to ease ourselves of it, or at least to lighten it as much as we can.

Sleepless
[Originally by Anathema]
And I often sigh
I often wonder why
I'm still here and I still cry
And I often cry
I often spill a tear
Over those not here
But still they are so near
Please ease my burden
And I still remember
A memory and I weep
In my broken sleep
The scars they cut so deep
Please ease my burden
Please ease my pain
Surely without war there would be no loss
Hence no mourning

Imperfectly
Can I help it if Im not neat
If there were creeps before you
How can I help you if I am weak?
If I dont know how to help me
But I love you, I love you
Imperfect, imperfect, imperfectly
I love you imperfect, imperfect, imperfectly
Can I help it if Im high strung
If I was born with a sharp tongue
Will you marry me if I stay sweet?
If I am the one with the cold feet
I love you, I love you
Imperfect, imperfect, imperfectly
I love you imperfect, imperfect imperfectly
I love you imperfect, imperfect, imperfectly
Imperfectly, imperfectly, imperfectly, imperfectly
Imperfectly, imperfectly, imperfectly

Qualifications for gratitude
To load off what is not required,
What is in excess or a burden,
What turned stale or left over,
Or what cannot be carried with
Will not account for gratitude.
What is given for a gain,
From fear or under duress
Also will not count for gratitude.
To bequeath at the end of life
Also does not earn gratitude.

Grand Remapping Of Reality
As we change our mindsets
we change the past
We live in the moment for it is the one that lasts.
We lighten the burden of identification to circumstances
and learn to follow are heart in remembrance.
For the veil is lifting and nature reveals
a visit from higher dimensions is upon us if we don't yield.
For if we don't claim our innocence and try to perceive
we will make our own hell and suffer and grieve.
For the eyes of the innocence and the pure at heart
will see all as a family community and not be a part.

A New Reality
As we change our mindsets
we change the past
We live in the moment for it is the one that lasts.
We lighten the burden of identification to circumstances
and learn to follow are heart in exuberance.
For the veil is lifting and nature reveals
a visit from higher dimensions is upon us if we don't yield.
For if we don't claim our inonnence and just believe
we will make our own hell and suffer with grief.
For the eyes of the innocence and the pure at heart

Mist Upon the Placid Morn
Bleed out your beauty, Autumn –
Give up a gentle wrist, and smear
Your bloody hues atop the green.
Cast a calming throw of heady peace
Upon the cooling land.
And as you grant the sun a final fling of warmth,
Charge the silent air
(Now lolling on a foliar deathbed)
With earthen whiff to intimate the fungal push.
Soon you’ll send a shiver down the watery spine of
Quivering ponds, punctual brooks, and
Listless lakes, to warn them of the freeze to come.
Behold! your mellow spirit
Hanging as a mist upon the placid morn –
A sight that draws a sneaking tear or two – forlorn
Observers are we all of colder climes to view!
Autumn Lady, must you be the summer waning –?
Our adieu to fairer-weather life?
Ah well, at least you hum a warming tone, ensuring
Nature’s rhythm still abounds.
But now you must prepare the mind for chilly times –
You know the drill –
Guiding us along a sloping path
To ease our psyche in to sleet and snow –
The blue-ice bite of winter.

I Am Quiet In Gratitude To God
I am quiet in gratitude to God
Saved again
Near tears in tears
Grateful to God
And trying within
To let the Gratitude be everything
And forget for a time
The fear that will return again-
Quiet in Gratitude to God
And wanting that Gratitude to be everything.

Hope Is Not A Remedy
Hope is real as long as you hope.
Positive, it will lighten you.
Negative, it will burden you.
Hope is not a remedy though.

Tempered Perfection
It was God's greatest gift
'Imperfection'
something God does lack
But in his image
we stand
imperfect
and in the
'unification'
of the perfect
and the imperfect
'tempered Perfection

To love you enough
Unless you share the trouble of the one
Who loves you enough,
You will fail to give the one a chance
To love you enough.
Unless you show your gratitude to the one
Who loves you enough,
You will fail to give the one a chance
To love you enough.
To share the burden and show gratitude
Are the two axis of the human cart.

Smile All The While
send out a smile today,
see it being returned
lighten someones burden
your love wont be spurned
its difficult to smile
when the days cares lie heavy
but the result is really worth it
youll soon be smile savvy
everyone is harried
while rushing about by day
a cheery wave, a happy smile
has so much to say
for the shy ones, takes courage
to smile at someone unknown
but try it and you will see,
how cheerily its condoned.
a smile makes you feel happy,
give you a warm glow inside,
makes the day seem lighter
and worries to subside.
so lighten up all you serious ones,
and smile away your cares,
you give one., you'll get one free,
even ward off someones tears.
resolve to be happy,
spread cheer to near and dears,
work harder, sincerely and happily,
smile are contagious, not tears.

That's Life
Life is not fair,
So it is futile to compare.
Grass always seems greener on the other side,
Who knows what skeletons in their cupboard people hide?
That couple who seem to be made for each other,
In privacy, for all you know may not be talking to one another.
The man who seems to have achieved all his goals,
Might be waging wars in the silent chambers of his soul.
A woman may hide her tears behind her make up and smile,
As she doesn’t want to appear cynical and senile.
We all have to play the cards we have been dealt with,
And try to remain calm and not seethe.
Every hardship is an opportunity to grow,
So keep on moving even if you feel low.
I hold silent conversations with God,
And ask “what lessons am I supposed to learn lord?
If in silence you listen to your inner voice,
You will be able to maintain your poise.
Don’t lose hope, at times that’s all you have.
Take one day at a time and be brave.
Acceptance, surrender gives a lot of peace,
Lighten your burden and help one to move with ease.
