Beginning to End

By Tavares Maurice Gill Sr.

This is my story. Some may call it a book; I call it my untold thoughts locked and stored. I feel that I am a voice for all the many voices all across this nation that is hidden underneath the tiniest surface. I feel as though I can uplift and give strength, hope, and comfort to the voices that are left behind and overlooked and once was told and still being told that nobody wants to hear your opinions and input. The reason I say that I am the voice because I was once and sometimes still am that voice—that lost voice, just like yours. I wrote these poems because no one would listen when I needed love. I felt like the only love I got was the lines on those sheets inside of my notebook—those blank sheets showed and gave me the love I needed and loved the right or the wrong me. It never judge or viewed me as a failure. This book is about my pain, my misunderstandings, and my mishaps. All the above, anything you want to be (dreamer). This is life in its truest form.

Chapter One

Out of Sight

My Life

Take any page out of my life what do you get; you receive a happiness, a fullness, a completed circle, a center of joy that fill many areas.

…but in the meanwhile turn the page and glimpse at the next chapter.

…open your mind.

….expand your thoughts, as you figure out the messages that are revealed within the blank space

Truth

Truth is found in my deepest thoughts,

In the back of the brain is where it is kept, and captured

My truth lies where the beginnings are stored

Eternal

Tears of pain roll down my face

Showers of my cry darkens the world

Standing in a pool

Of sorrow/

Daydreaming of being connected 2 the sky.

Stars symbolize inner-peace.

My body and my Soul

Are 1

With-in

2 Minds Think Alike

One thought goes left

The other moves right until both meet in the middle,

Which often times becomes one decision

When two or more heads come together the better the batter taste

The wilder of an idea the sweeter the plan become, as long

As 2 minds think alike and when a thought becomes a vision and the vision becomes a realization and the same realization turned into your reality, that is when you knew something special just presented itself and the foundation became forever sealed

Simply

You know it is just that simple but we make it so, hard. Life choices are what we got to live with but yet it is still just so simple. Time and time again we go through a crisis when it doesn’t have to be better yet we still continue to take advantage.…for some reason or another we all tend to place ourselves in the middle of our own time change....when your emotions seem very impossible to get through remember all your mishaps is really what it is; a situation just that, simple.

Silence

Wind blowing in the mist of thunder/rain
