I search for her, though she keeps herself away,
Her strength the shield that hides where she has been.
I wait for the moment she can be seen one day.
Today turns into yesterday’s slow decay,
A date becomes a week, a month, then something thin.
I search for her, though she keeps herself away.
Has she slipped into some crack where shadows stay?
Why won’t she answer, speak, or let me in?
I wait for the moment she can be seen one day.
She loves me still, but distance is her way
To guard us both from storms that once had been.
I search for her, though she keeps herself away.
Still I love her, so I look for signs each day,
In case her world collapses and she seeks me then.
I wait for the moment she can be seen one day.
She grows, she heals, her purpose finds its sway.
Will she return unchanged, loving as she had been?
I search for her, though she keeps herself away.
I wait for the moment she can be seen one day.

Poems and essays about faith, failure, love, and whatever’s still twitching after the dust settles. Dark humor, emotional shrapnel, occasional clarity, always painfully honest.
Bruce Lee and The God of War: Kuan Ti
It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).
