Lingering Light by Danielle Wingate
As I am
thoughts are my own worst enemy
this deviant space
provided within my head
words of death
consumed by all the negative forces that twist and pull
calling to me
grasping each thought
I arise
Defending myself against negative forces surround
Struggle to escape this path my feet are destined to walk upon
At times its easy to let the comfort of old ways consume me
But Oh how wonderful the waves of positive thoughts rush against my skin
coming home
walking a new path
dwelling inside my positive life force
That strong...

Appreciation
Let this be a lesson
To have life
To breathe
Each day I take a breath
As other humans breathe deeper and harder
in thier situation
for life on this earth is plagued with hardship and honest lessons
My soul feels pain
such disdain
that I don't have a dollar to give this man
begging for human kindness
this man needs love --
walking in life with only one leg
Everyday I feel sorry for myself
Oh but a little charity can heal the soul
To give without expectation or judgement
To live with only honest intentions
Is to live with...
To have life

Each day I take a breath

Home
Take me away from this place
to my soul's destination
immersed in the beauty of the universe
seeing past human eyes into humanity’s touch
awaken this hope that home is where ever i am
time is just a concept that doesn't exist
each moment so precious
I must be mindful to capture the sanctity of every interaction
beyond appearance and egotistical wanderings
Relinquish the day's guilt of my mind
with simple gratitude to breathe to exist to dwell with in the soul that is mine
Home is this
Home is the connection of searching beyond the epidermis ...

Outer body experience
Outer body experience by Lindsey Wingate
People that put needles into thier arms
to inject poison
Drug of Choice
Life is but made of decisions
Responsibility lies with choice we make
People that use sex as drug
Inject hate for themseleves there
Self-Love not present
When human body we chose to destroy
Carnal nature is embraced and allowed
With each step of self-hate
Out of boy out of mind
cover up what is to be hidden under
deep seeded denial
Decayed soul
bitter life to breathe it's heavy breath
Virtue comes in knowing...

onion
layers upon layers like an onion
the day the words they all pile up
slowly unoticeably
their stench wafts inside your senses
the pungent odourous aroma
of all the negative vile
possibilities
each small thing
that is allowed to creep by us
is a layer
that is allowed to build
growing stronger this
seed of...
