Candidreams:  I Remember the Beginning
*RECOMMENDED FOR READERS 16 YRS  AND OLDER

In Taurean’s Light

A beautiful day for a wedding,
one of the most wondrous days indeed.
But sadly this matrimony
 only exists in my dreams.

It is of my 18 year old brother,
and such a darling brother was he-
His smile, his manner, his charm,
so many things he led me to see.

The brightest day of his life,
the proud, honored groom
was shadowed by reality, 
  he was to die much too soon.

I was furious in my dream-
trying to make perfect the day
but no one seemed to care
They did what they wanted anyway.

I fumed and I shouted.
I stomped all over the place!
How could they take it so lightly-
His last, important day?!

 I was way pass fed up and
just couldn’t take anymore.
Then I noticed my brother laughing…
and harder than ever before.

I wondered what so funny
And how could he be so calm.
He said, “Sister, don’t be angry,
I’m just laughing at you out of love.

Stop worrying over the ideal or
fret not having your way.
Heaven lasts forever.
We can do this again someday.”

Excerpts

The last time I smoked that shit
  was a silly attempt to forget
  the list of things that happened to me,
  that caused me to want not to believe,
  that caused me to want to give up hope,
  and ignore the call of my dreams.
I let all I cared for 
  slide through life’s seams
  -excerpt from "The Heartstopper"
Maybe I’m my Papa’s child, 
  he’s the only father I’ll ever know-  
  the man that fed me,   
  gave me shelter and clothes,  
  took me into his home   
  and raised me as his own  
  because I am his own.
  -excerpt from "Whose Child Am I?"
I have all this love to give   
   and I want to share it to with you but…
You are too selfish to graciously accept   
   the unconditional love of another. 
Your stance causes me to wonder…  
   what if all that beauty and strength   
   in you were finally set free? 
Free from those memories and pains   
   that bind you to that place.
  -excerpt from "All This Love to Give"
