Demons
Big punch in my solar plexus
Betrayals serve as the nexus
Long to be anywhere else
Futile try escape from self
Why it comes where to hide
Is there any god inside
Long for stress free quiet peace
Seeking transformation release
Feeling the disease within
Masked well but veneer is thin
Essential now to make peace
Or sadly this life will cease
How to move through the pain
Battle demons pelting rain
Endure without coming undone
Searching for strength some fun
Choices not sure what to do
Face the fear fake it through
I know it’s a transient state
Must traverse to the next gate
What internal demons have you battled?
What strategies have you used and what was your self-talk?
Can you help others?

I have always been a seeker, always looking for the answers to what seekers ponder. I can remember Dr. Maxwell Maltz and Psychocybernetics; Dr. Carl Rogers On Becoming a Person. Moving through my legal training and practicing law the focus was always about people and how to better their lives. All that searching, reading, studying and introspective work culminated in this collection of daily readings for seekers.
My work in the world has progressed from fighting legal cases to mediating divorces to helping people understand the essentials of relationship and collaborating to these poems. How can we collaborate effectively and work with each other in harmony to create the world we seek. How can we mindfully enable this world to become a place that works for all.
My prayer is that through introspection using these poems as a guide we can all grow together in making the world the Heaven on Earth we all aspire toward.
