If my mind can only simulate,
The very part that I extrapolate,
As some form that seems to emulate,
How I function in my present state,,,
Am "I" me because I think and feel,
If I'm free then why is fate so real,
Can I "BE" beyond some 7th seal,
Will my maker stand and have me kneel,,,
And do I ask if theres a reason why,
I'm the last of us that has to die,
Does it matter what I am inside,
Will be dead before I close my eyes,,,?
So was there ever an eternity?
Still such a question has averted me,
To an answer thats inserted me,
Into religions that converted me,,,
But whatever lets the air I breathe,
Be a sign of whats inside I need,
Thats so divine and ohh so heavenly,
Until the time it come's to set me free,,,
Overwhelming emotion
Pain, frustration, anger
Confusion and disappointment
Building up
Then spilling over
Lost and abandoned
Left alone and broken
Too much to handle
For a moment longer
And finally I realize
Suddenly I can see
I've been looking, searching
In the wrong place entirely
I close my eyes
And silently beg
I need your help
Your strength
To carry me for now
While I am weary
As I grow faint
All along I should
Have put my trust in you
So now I give it freely
And with open arms embrace
The one who's always there
To take away my pain
The peace that comes
Almost instantly
Brings tears of joy and relief
I feel a love
So strong and pure
I know I'm safe at last
He takes me in
Comforts my heart
And puts my mind to rest
I know now I can stand
I feel new strength
And peace
With this new hope
I'll carry on
Knowing He is with me
Here I sat under the shadow of tears,
fainting under the fountains of fears,
until the lamb of God came for me,
on the cross, he cried to set me free.
Hell hunts to hurt my haughty heart,
sins & stains stripped my soul apart,
until I came to the cross of Christ,
and He saved me from my terrible thirst.
Amen...
Listening to an amazing
piece of jazz music like
this one/ lead me to
thinking like I'm the
one-'leader'/ just want to
touch the white clouds
but I can't find the
ladder/ The sun blazes
through the clouds/ as
the wind breezes
through the avocado
leaves/ the oxygenated
leaf air leaves/ my mind
refreshed/ But like
temptation are so/
destructing so/ is my
opposite neighbour's
smoke from burnt
garbage/ the odour is
indescribable/ but the
'eastern sun' jazz beat
from Sizzle/ makes it
possible/ for me to
continue thinking clean.
My conscience comes into
play and I remember
there is only One 'leader'.
Who was, is, and will be.
John 1:1. Thank you
LORD!
Surrendering atop the tip top of the world
Beauty surrounding this bliss that unfurled
A flag of freedom, who knew me up here?
God did, painted this picture in the clear
Breath of cool mornings, crisp and pure,
A blue painting.
High, high enough to see my fears below
Low, low enough to still be afraid, although
I could leap the distance and meet them,
Head on as they say, head first and cram
The lot of it in, but it was too much to take
Internally.
Spirits come up here on the mountains edge
To talk to those who surmount the summit ledge
So I spent awhile and told them my troubles
They said, "son... down there it just doubles"
Knowledge is not always power, helpless feelings
Flow.
God was there too, at the top of the peak
Not everything was doomed to be bleak
With his hand outreached now, I began to wonder
Wonder if he wanted me here, sounds of thunder
Crashing loud in the distance he looked down at me
And he said, "Climb back down, you aren't ready to stay,
Besides... the true beauty in life and death is only seen on
The climb."
My face seems like a happy one, though you may not know,
that deep inside, i feel the depression start to grow and grow.
It fills me up, and distracts me every second of every day,
while even though things go on around me, my back is turned away.
I don't want to see the world outside,
its too depressing than it is inside even though I can't confide in myself to have a peek
and and make sure I'm right.
Then one Sunday afternoon, i went so Sunday church and soon
forgot about that feeling inside, and found a new one deeper inside,
and it had a name and it was christ.
I came to realize I'd wasted so much time and didn't see the beautiful times,
the children playing, the birds in their nest, and the Holy Bible on my desk.
I now see that I am no more than a grain of sand,
I now see that I'm no more than a piece of land.
I now know I am but a spec of life in this universe,
I see that within this vast paragraph I'm only a small verse.
The truth has enlightened my once clueless mind,
This life's deceiving lies no longer have me blind.
The light now lightens every shadow of my being,
Revealing those things the darkeness kept me from seeing.
The empty being roaming this world is no more,
For you have entered into my life, my heart and my core.
You are the light which my eyes do lead,
With you there is no emptyness, there is no need.
You calmed the storms surrounding my heart,
Promising that you and me would never again part.
Mother Mary come to me
Lay your healing hands
Before you
A broken man stands
As the tears stream
Flowing down my face
Falling to my knees
Pleading for your grace
Forgive me
For all I have done wrong
I am not perfect
But my heart is strong
My intensions pure and true
I am ready
To serve my penance for you
Fill my heart
With your undying love
Use your angels
To guide me from above
Grant me the wisdom
So that I may finally be free
Mother Mary come to me
The End

Dream weaver
The creator of fantasies
Places unknown
Way beyond the seas
Dream weaver
Enter into my mind
Take me on a voyage
To places I cannot find
Bring peace to me
As I sleep tonight
Invade this darkness
With your eternal light
Set me free
From these chains that bind me here
Release me from this pain
And take away all my fear
I beacon you
And again you come
Stay with me tonight
Let these dreams you weave
Deliver me to the sun
The End
By Greg P
Hanging on the edge, hoping to climb up
This eternity looming beneath and before
Torn between heaven and hell's maw
Opening to pull me in, I barely saw
The glimmer of light above, still found myself
Hanging on the edge, hoping to climb up
It was only a faint glimmer, or so I thought
But for a moment or two, I was too distraught
My grip was loosening up, lord love me please
I cried out to the heavens above as I struggled
Hanging on the edge, hoping to climb up
From this, the cusp of oblivion's cup
Then I saw it once more, that faint glimmer of hope
It was God, his angels, and their beautiful chariots
Here to save me, pull me back from being corrupt
Hanging on the edge, hoping, praying to climb up
I hang before the masses
Like a painting on the wall
Villagers that pass me by
Pay no heed at all
I suffer for the moment
But I bear the pain of time
I ressurect the happiness
That's lost inside the mind
I hang before the masses
As a testiment of life
An image of forgotten will
A flag of pain and strife
I bleed the blood of courage
And I harbour tears of shame
All I ask is that the world
Remember me by name
I hang before the masses
Like a poster on the wall
Wondering if anyone
Will remember me at all
I hang before the masses
For all the world to see
A symbol of undying love
To set the spirit free
My arms are stretched out wide
They reach from nail to nail
Cry for me and I will be
Beside you without fail
I hang before the masses
As I wear a thorny crown
I'm guaranteed to be released
Before they let me down
I'll take a three day rest
Until the angels move the stone
Then once again I'll walk the Earth
To prove you're not alone

I met a Man today
Who this Man was He would not say.
Though I looked upon Him with familiarity
As He politely asked, “Will you walk with Me?”
As we began our journey hand in hand
His peaceful presence transported me to a different land.
The cares of life have all melted away
My heart’s sorrows are forbidden to stay.
We continue on and it’s then I see
For this is no man, but my Father carrying me.
Those strong arms, those gentle eyes
“Why, Oh LORD, did I trade You for lies?”
“Dear Child, you are Mine and I am yours,
Though you have chosen to go through many wrong doors.
You left Me behind a long time ago,
I have you back from that dark pit that kept you so low.
Let’s journey on side by side
Having no one else but Me as your guide.
Your past mistakes and failures on this earth cannot be undone
But when I look at you I only see My perfect Son.
Rest My dear Child for you soon will see
No one can love you like I do, I love you unconditionally.”
CLEANING HOUSE
Look into my heart, Oh Lord,
See who I truly am,
For You alone can know it,
Can truly understand.
Be a lamp unto my feet,
A sword to thwart my foe,
Light the corners of my mind,
Where fear and hate can grow.
Enter my mind and lock it`s door,
To hate and lust and pride,
Arm me with Your mighty Word,
And be my faithful guide.
Show me where my true faults lie,
And help me make it right,
That I may come before Your throne,
Acceptable in Your sight.

Jesus,Son of God
You save me from Satan's wrath
You save me from sin
Eternal Father pour blessings upon me
Guide down the road of righteousness
Cleanse my spirit so that I may see you clearly
Be near me Lord do not let me stray from your Holiness
Allow me to become pure and full of love and your abudant grace
Let me feel your Holy presence
To be the child of God and light
Send forth your love and spirit upon me
Wash away my sins and weariness
So that I may be worthy of your praise
Lord I call at your name
And Holiness rains upon me
Teach me to forgive and learn from the past
Allow me to let go and return to Your Almight hand in sense and place.
