The Dead End of My Dreams

screaming beauty juxtaposed with silent pain

the line between

a raw edge

of joy

my internal landscape

bared

on a big beach

for all to see

saltwater

washing up from her seas

washing out

from my eyes

meeting

in warm sand

we share

Maui

seaing

with me and my pain

splattering shame

Beauty came

and sat down beside me

softly.  gently.  quietly. 

healing

my heart

Be Still

still beating

to the rhythm of aloha

don't hurry me

nor my pain

along

the edge of beauty

where Heaven

Still

meets my screams

raw

with Joy

at the dead end of my dreams
