The Dweller

When thinking about pain and suffering I thought of this. It expresses the despair shared by dwellers all around the world but also offers hope.

The Dweller
Cold stone houses and empty rooms,
Red blood cuts and open wounds.
The Dweller wanders about
In deep thought
On suffering, the symptom of a life.
It reverberates with pain
And heartache throughout.
It wasn't how it should've been.
The dark shadows all consuming with fear
Wraught in the deepest foundation
Yet...hope lifts up and revives this heart
Bringing light to the darkened room.
Gone is the weight if despair and emptiness.
Though suffering and pain still remain,
The Dweller knows the truth.
Freedom is gained in love.

Behind the scenes

Have you ever read a book or watched a movie and wondered what goes on behind the scenes? I certainly have. I want to know just how they decide what word to use or who chose that specific actor. But more importantly I want to discover the meaning or purpose of the book or movie.  Why did the author portray the protagonist that way? What was the reason for that scene? What message is trying to be taught?
I encourage you the next time you go read a book or watch a movie that you really stop to think what message it is sending you. What the purpose is behind the scenes.

Poem by Edgar Allan Poe

"Thou wouldst be loved?--then let thy heart
From its present pathway part not!
Being every thing which now thou art,
Be nothing which thou art not.
So wire the world thy gentle ways,
Thy grace, thy more than beauty,
Shall be an endless theme of praise
And love--a simple duty.
To F---S S. O---D
