Like a lingering memorial of self-perpetual regret, I'm a hymn, a prayer, a temple of contemplation, where the living wish they were dead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb6a5dae5f9c50389726f84/ff954e1e-678b-41d2-8826-f646f7daf670/9_border.png Graveyards into Gardens For the sky has smeared its oily fingers over this flaking scab of land, where withered trees of souls that sway to a sea of damnated hands, are desperate for deliverance from the legacy that locks them in... They've survived and been the fittest but they will never feel again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb6a5dae5f9c50389726f84/81af1beb-f86e-4a52-a27f-24dca700d825/2_border.png Graveyards into Gardens And gushing out the rivers are their whispers of sweet remorse, From a throat slit by years walking the teeth of a lonely shore. Like cliffs of sheer resentment plastered with molten thick offence, It's easier to wander in the darkness than to confront the consequence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb6a5dae5f9c50389726f84/6fc6c567-ce3f-492e-9668-dbfadb6379b9/6_border.png Graveyards into Gardens But as I pass the cracked foundations of the beliefs that I once held, I stumble across a man that's made splinters from the gates of hell, Who with steps laid out in lashes, and breathes enlaced in dust, has raised me from out my ashes and saved me with his unfailing love. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb6a5dae5f9c50389726f84/1e9a49b0-0518-47aa-94d5-ed90339e3700/7_border.png Graveyards into Gardens And as my heart of concrete shatters I am ripped from a crumbling spine, A skeleton shedding new flesh inside, now growing like a garden of life, Watered in the tears of angels, and planted to be salt of the earth, I blossom in the pain of my burdens, and I brighten on the days I get burnt. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb6a5dae5f9c50389726f84/7d719c51-71b1-44b0-8920-62e4ec82a8ae/5_border.png Graveyards into Gardens Because hope like a seed has sprouted through the beak of a ravens laugh, That's picked and untwisted my bitterness like the surgical blades in the grass, Then stitched up in ribbons of sunlight, re-synthesized beneath six feet of clay, Every monotone fragment of my life shapes mosaic trees of unshakeable grace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb6a5dae5f9c50389726f84/d73fe4f8-29a4-4247-9c4e-6f95cfb1a981/1_border.png Graveyards into Gardens And I ask, Does the dandelion dance or cower in fear of facing the wild unknown? Or the carnation doubt her grand design before she's fully grown? Does a rose withhold her beauty, to spite her jealous step-sister thorns? No! she goes to the ball in a glamourous gown and only bows to the battles she's fought. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb6a5dae5f9c50389726f84/5e77fe9c-50fd-45dc-bcac-a12473b726c9/4_border.png Graveyards into Gardens As I now escape from my ravenous coffin once sealed by the decay of my mind, I am no longer a slave to my failures as water is no more a servant to wine, Dripping down the eyes of a lion, but savoured on the lips of a lamb, Life returns to my valley of sorrow as bones rebuild this ghost of a man. https://awakenedarts.co.uk/virtual-mannequins daily 0.75 2022-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb6a5dae5f9c50389726f84/2970d671-b83e-474f-b34b-fa957a3139cf/virtualmannequins_titlewhite.png Virtual Mannequins - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://awakenedarts.co.uk/the-path-i-walk-the-cup-i-hold daily 0.75 2022-08-25 https://awakenedarts.co.uk/enigma daily 0.75 2022-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb6a5dae5f9c50389726f84/582fabcd-2973-47cd-92f2-0f110b0b23cd/enigma_title.png Enigma - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://awakenedarts.co.uk/hearts-like-glass-and-the-lies-that-last daily 0.75 2022-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb6a5dae5f9c50389726f84/0d52548c-6462-42a0-8b32-cdbeeb44b31c/HeartsLikeGlass_Title.png Hearts Like Glass and the Lies That Last - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://awakenedarts.co.uk/support daily 0.75 2024-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb6a5dae5f9c50389726f84/a62cdf73-fe28-4100-a016-20d914c577b3/Untitled+-+Copy.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb6a5dae5f9c50389726f84/bcbe56db-a1fd-432f-a2e7-b134347663ff/331925817_6448947811802029_7508920174274997090_n.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb6a5dae5f9c50389726f84/5cd29ed6-0936-47c2-aa4e-d79cebb7ec77/collage2.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb6a5dae5f9c50389726f84/c1b74bd1-4216-4bcf-b438-d55239025d03/Infinitywarelogo.png
