Life Ends, But Something Remains...

Before mom passed away,
she anxiously asked me to sit down
and listen to the wisest words
ever said by someone so missed;
her tired voice was a fading whisper,
and I couldn't let go of her cold hand!
O mother, how true it came to be...
when facing tomorrow alone, 
and afraid to follow deception, I clung 
to the same strength that earned you love!


"Life ends, but something remains...
look beyond its purpose,
find good in everything;
don't carry the heavy load yourself:
have someone help you along,
as you helped me through my long days!"

"
Before I learned from you so eagerly,
sweet mother of a begone century;
now I take those lessons from life,
and I'm aware of how it effects me;
and remembering how you loved God,
assures me that you've already reached Paradise! 
What you sought after wasn't a treasure, 
but a desire to teach love without sparing the rod;
and that treasure is worthier than gold,
because it will be so indestructible!


"Life ends, but something remains...
and if my death is too painful,
think of what has been so wonderful!
Come to visit me in my final resting place,
there I'll be as cheerful as you like to remember me;
even winter will extend me its indefinable sympathy!"    


"My son, don't deprive yourself of deserving and lovely things...
when one godly life suddenly ends, another quickly begins!"

When I was very very young
A new mother experiencing life
Pain visited me with my song still unsung
Now children my song will I play on my fife

A new mother experiencing life
Pain in my side to the doctor went
Now children my song will I play on my fife
Right ovary cyst orange size hosiptal sent

Pain in my side to the doctor went
He said that this could cause loss of life
Right ovary cyst orange size hospital sent
Well I went under the operating knife

He said that this could cause loss of life
For it could rupture at the least bump
Well I went under the operating knife
For them to remove this abnormal lump

For it could rupture at the least bump
Asleep totally out on operating table
For them to remove this abnormal lump
Went to the light to visit angel Gabriel

Asleep totally out on operating table
Then this light called me away
Went too the Light to visit angel Gabriel
Somewhere over Yonder_I went but didn't stay

Then this Light called me away
Peace, peace sweet peace in that place
Somewhere over Yonder_I went but didn't stay
My Grandmother sent me back through space

Peace, peace sweet peace in that place
Pain visited me with my song still unsung
My Grandmother sent me back through space
When I was very very young

Premium Member The Tunnel of Light

Their voices became whispers, mumbles ; I could not understand
                No one sat beside me , no one holds my hand
With my eyes closed in death , My soul  enters the Tunnel of Light
                Deafening silence, this Hallowed hall of white
Every word, thought, and deed : the good and bad existence of Life
                All those I ever knew the one I Love my Wife
Their Spirits, their Entities : Portraits Shining on the Tunnel’s wall
                Leads down the path to enter Kingdom’s Hall
Peering back at Grotesque Demons in the darkness whence I came
                Each and every dark Angel calling me by name
I turn my back on darkness and I walk the Forever Everlasting trail
                My goal is Heaven, Drink from the Holy Grail
As You read my journey’s journal : know Your Always by my side
 Onward Christian Soldier, Walking Home ; to  Destiny with Pride

As I Swim In That Heavenly Sea

Stars twinkle and flicker all the time,
And I think I am too old to mind,
It costs me more as time goes on,
But stars still twinkle off and on.
When my time has been used,
And I am dust upon your shoes,
Look up to the night time sky,
And see a star and wonder why?
Please think kindly of me,
As I swim in that heavenly sea,
For all I have ever done or been,
Is not for me but a hope to be seen.
To leave a mark, a token too,
To be remembered mainly by you,
This vain hope is a sin, I know,
But as a star in your heart
I would glow.
Grow and glow, and warm and protect,
If this only could be
It would be perfect.
And so when you look at the stars above,
See me and know
All my love.

No Reason For Good Bye

For me she was always there

Letting me know that someone did care

Now helpless in that bed

I remember all that wasn't said

Did I tell her when we last met

Another chance will I even get

Out of the blue I seem to cry

Just not ready to say Good Bye

Now I pull on my big boy pants

Thank God I get another chance

To let her know I feel her pain

And to ease my guilt and shame

Let her know my Loves Complete

And that in heaven one day we'll meet

So there is no real reason to cry

Eternity means there's no need for Good Bye!

Heavenly Angel

The days go by so slowly,
The pain inside of me unholy.
The days number greatly since you've been gone,
I have missed you for far too long.
What is this I see,
A heavenly angel descending upon me.
What is this mine eyes doth behold,
It gives me more pleasure than you could ever know.
Reflections of your face numbering ten thousand and one,
They shine as brightly as the sun.
"Have you come to take me home," I say,
For this I have prayed.
"We shall be together once again," he says,
As I feel the cold hand that is Death's.
"Hold on just a little longer,
For pain and grief make the the spirit stronger."
I close my eyes,
Content to die...
With my heavenly angel by my side.
Finally we float away,
On this my dying day.
We are reunited at last,
Two heavenly angels transform a troubled past.

I Know Your There But I Cant See You

I’ve been lost without you since the day you died
I tell everyone I’m ok but I lied
I can sense your presence to my core
This cold felling I just can’t ignore
I see lights in rooms that are dark
When there is no sound I hear your voice remark

Your spirit moves me I feel it through
I know your there but I can’t see you

Candles blow out whenever lit
I’m waiting for you so here I sit
The floor creaks but no one moves across
I cannot handle the burden of your loss
I know you’re here to calm me down
There’s not a stir when others are around

Your spirit moves me I feel it through
I know your there but I can’t see you

Finally a vision appears to me
The waiting is over and now I see
You have returned to tie a loose end
And let me say goodbye to you my friend
I say farewell and give you my love
You vanish into thin air and return to heaven above

Your spirit moved me and I felt it through
You were there and I did see you
me

Premium Member Suicide

I smoked a cigarette today and couldn't understand why.
It was a bad habit indulged long forgotten of mine
and then it suddenly struck me. I realized why.
I guess I simply want to die,
but cigarette smoking is a very slow and painful process of suicide.
So I made a decision. I'm going to ride out life's ride
with all of its twists and turns and the occasional surprise
guaranteed to strike me unexpectedly right between the eyes.
If I have to I will continue to swim against life's tide
because realistically eventually we're all going to die.
What's the big rush? Why even consider suicide?

When I'm at that lowest depressed state that one can possibly be,
here's something I do regularly that seems to help me.
I look at myself in the mirror and say out loud to me,
"Buck up and be a man you oversensitive big baby!"
That's me giving tough love to me.

Last Journey

Last journey

 

It is burning before me

Where I have stayed and played

It’s burning before me with wood as wood.

Flames are high and low

From my burning body

Watching this and thinking back to my past

some thing funny they are

What a small amount of air

that dominated the days of mine

How many trifles and quarrels

in the days of it’s life

How many relatives and foes

In it’s régime in this world

Tears affection and lust on sex

Where they are? And

What they are? 

In this session of my inquiry

A light of mercy nears to me and

Hold me with it to it’s world of glee

My travel continues there and

crossing many universes on our way

Love Is Blind

In a bookshop I stood
Surching for a specific book
I stumbled over a pile of books
But once I got my balance back
I went to the counter to ask for an assistant

Upon the counter I saw a pile of old Braille books.
To my excitement I blew the dust off – 
Suddenly a young man came out of the storage room;

“Excuse me ma’am, can I help you?”
       His voice was so soft and soothing
“Yes please. I’m looking for a book called Love is blind
       He just stood there staring at me and then he said;
“Indeed it is, love is blind.”
       I stood there with a frown on my face not knowing what he meant
“Sir, what do you mean by saying love is blind?”

“Give me your hand.”
        I gave the tall young man my hand
        As he took my hand I saw a teardrop running down his face

“Young lady, you can séé why love isn’t blind for you, 
   but for me…I will always be blind to see love, but I’ll always feel it.”
          I stood there with sadness in my heart
          It was silent.
          What could I say to him…
  
I came back the next day, but when I entered
I saw blood on the floor
And a note saying;
                             
I could take no more.
I wanted to be loved.
I wanted to feel love,
But most importantly – 
I wanted to séé love!

Silence filled the room
And I just stood there holding
The note saying to myself;
“If I could have shown him love,
Would he still be alive?”
