Light Shines In

As a child
My heart was stone
Strong, unfaltering
But slowly chipped away
By the River of Experience

Then
My heart became grains of sand
Blowing through the Winds of Time
Unsteady and scattered
Small pieces of who I was

The Fire of Divinity
Has fused the sands together
Now it is glass
Delicate and beautiful
Letting
The Light of Goddess
In
To shine through me

I Come From...

I come from.. the wind's past
Blown through life, no anchor'd last
No idea of where I'd be
Or the things that I would see

I come from a world denied
A place where cops and teachers lied
Where people fought and shots rang loud
Where sometimes smog would be your cloud

I come from a home of love
But was snatched away by those above
A world where poverty was a crime
And seeing family was restricted time

I come from a world of walls
A place where barriers were tall
Where children lived, but parents, not
And when the wind stopped, I was caught

I come from a world of pain
Where tears come more often then the rain
Where families fought and broke in two
Where things lasting were untrue

I come from the stars, the sky
And I'll go back there when I die
Where everything exists as one
Until the universe is done
