"Following Angels"




Head hung low in mourning
The wave of deep sadness washes over you
Slow at first...
Then to a steady surging stream of emotions flow
The realization builds with every beat of the heart
That devastation is no longer a word
It now has taken up residence within you
And has borrowed your name
Through whispered pieces of broken prayer
You filter through memories...
For all the moments lost
And the ones that will never be made
Wishing time could reverse
You would go back
And do so much more...
But in the searching of the time line of life
Unknown to you, a certainty holds you
Faith keeps you moving
And hope holds you
Just because the one you loved is now out of sight
Does not mean they can be or will ever be erased from your mind
Because they are with you
Watching all of us from the heavens
Those whom we love and lost...
Are no longer where they were before in our lives
Because they are now wherever we are
Carried within our being
Until we all meet again in that divine place above
When angles lead us in.

"Memories Of A Stranger"



Confusion and doubt
The greatest plague of the mind
Jagged tears burn the eyes
Its a weird feeling...
When you realize the person you once told everything to
Now has no idea what is happening in your life...
Friends to strangers
Disconnect of communication
Leads you blindly forth
The claim to right leaves another wrong
And lines are drawn
Good people give you happiness
Bad give you experiences and lessons learned
The best kind of people give you memories
The ones that sometimes bring you tears when remembered
Breaking the promise made
A constant battle had
To also remember...
To forget today.

"A Problem With Memory"




Memories scream...
Trembling hands attempt to hold on
Embracing the pieces that remain
Thoughts refuse to connect
Abandoned and lost within the moments
Because sometimes its not that people change
Its that the mask falls off...
You had me with your words, but lost me with your actions
I walked away because you were to busy finding faults in me...
All the while I was busy over looking yours
So stop asking my heart to trust you again
For I am still coughing up water...
From the last time you let me drown.

"A Door Into The Dark"




This is us...
Standing together alone
In the same place
But unfortunately, not upon the same page
Related by thought
Held together by emotion
An unseen bond
With a longing that has grown
Between the lines and words not spoken
Stolen glances add together
Body language speaks volumes and conversations
I believe in the moment
The connection that has come naturally
I reach out...
Even though hesitation lingers within your hands
Scared are the actions you wish to take
The story is told by the deep pain within your eyes
I see the true you...
That is why I am still here
Holding out hope
A promise made
To be that light you seek...
