![]() My dear, You never knew what love was, Although you thought you knew. You tortured yourself, denying yourself, believing that what you had was enough. Over and over you stumbled, Just to pick yourself up again. You never understood those who grieved, despaired for a 'love' lost. Then you found it, a life with love, and you realized the truth. Love is a blessing given to nonbelievers, which can turn even the stubbornest hearts. Love is a crystal ball of fortune, telling a future of undeniable desire. Love is the meaning of life, That can be hidden for many a lifetime. Now you see that life was an illusion, a pleasant dream before awakening. Now true life begins. So dear self, look in to a mirror, there you'll find the most beautiful sight. It's you, in love. Scarlett Van Dijk Image courtesy of jscreationzs / FreeDigitalPhotos.net

Live in a plane higher than yourself. Be a bird. Look down on the world and feel the pain of the world. What it could have been. What it could be. Then you can be free.
Scarlett Van Dijk ![]() Look at us in our skin tight jeans our fashionable jumpers and shirts Look at us in our warm, multi-bedroom houses as the rain pour and the wind rages Look at us eating our bread, and meat and veg smothered with sauces and spices So why do you complain? Too cold, Too warm Too spicy, Too salty I’m hungry, I’m thirsty I don’t like that, I don’t want to Really? Do you see them in their rags? The only clothes they own Do you see them out in the cold with the weather wearing them down? Do you see them, all skin and bone? without food or clean water “Yes,” you say. “I saw them on TV.” …But did you really see them?
