From the silence words come forth.

          "How can love survive

            In such a graceless age"?

FORGIVENESS, THE MISSING CODE

(August 19, 2023, By Karla Wagener)

I can see your sadness,
Just trying to survive.
It is held in the dying cacti
In the deep of a desert lost.

I can feel your loneliness
Blessed with a higher purpose
Willing to redeem all the cost
Of humanity, of the Earth.

Wildlife and nature pleading
In their hopelessness,
Just trying to survive.

We've heard your cries
and have come down
From the heights of mountains,
To announce victory and forgiveness.

Follow without fear
The guidance
Of those who have
Treachered the greatest heights...
Guides teaching
how to survive.

Truth is written in the stars.
It's time to join together
Each distinct impressed letter
Making true sense shine        
                                         better.

We have prayed
and implored
For you,
For all of you.
We know what
A piece of heaven
Of the second coming
Feels like.
