Silence

In silence the world will listen 
to the thunder of my existence 
will they ever know that which is me 
or will i fade away as silence glide 

will silence enfold me for a life 
maybe a past a present stay 
or will this silence become my rule 
to treat and heal and break my soul 

i wish to year your silent words 
as they glide over torn and battered skin 
will you hear me in this silence 
that will keep me locked away 

i wish that you could stay in here 
and feel the day I have to live 
when the sounds of thunder echo 
and the silence of new day grow 

i hope to find the meaning to you 
and find the ceasing behind it all 
now all that is left is for darkness 
to come and make its nest in my soul

Stood By Me

You silently stood by me in times of need 
You were there when I went on my path 
To self destruct when death seemed bliss 
Where loneliness was my catchphrase 

You were there when I needed a miracle 
With the sound of my son’s first cry 
As it cut through the thin night air of silence
And death was no longer my wish 

You stood by me still when I lost all I loved 
When I felt bereft lost and without hope 
When the sun changed to dust and the 
Sound of bird song sounded hopeless

You stood by me when I denounced you 
When I gave a soul for the hope that love 
Will never be a part of the life I chose to life 
When I felt that my life would be for nothing 

And now today my inner wish has been answered  
At last I know that I will find the peace I so need
Will were I longed to go and be save
Into your arms which will hold me close
