We tend to chase away the pain
Run away from where it came
Disappear, yet once again
It comes back to us, all the same

We fight the battle to win the war
The one we never asked for
Waging against a mighty plight
Raging into the depths of night

We struggle to find the safest place
To rest from this weary human race
And gather our souls for better’s worth
Yet find an absence here on Earth

Within ourselves, within our heart
We reach inside and find the part
Missing deep within our soul
A simple piece to make us whole

He’s been with us through all our sorrow
He’ll be with us, again, tomorrow
A grace not found upon this earth
The son of God, our spiritual rebirth

A quiet moment, alone on a swing

Hoping my heart can remember to sing

Floating on air, in the bright morning light

Knowing full well, I must keep up the fight

To conquer this monster, restless in me

I can no longer take all of life’s sympathy

For those who don’t know, it feels like you’ve died

From all of those emotions you’ve kept deep inside

I look not for pity, from eyes as they glare

But hope one day, I am not ashamed to share

The burdens I lay at my very own feet

Trying so hard, to fight this defeat

I’ve locked it away, yet it’s close to my heart

The sadness I feel, like I’m falling apart

Not knowing which way I can turn and still care

Falling deeper and deeper into empty despair

Til the chirp of a bird sings its own happy song

And in that very moment, my heart sings along

Rejoicing, he sings, such a sweet melody

His reminder, that happiness is waiting for me

Shadows of Darkness

And so the shadows cast the darkness
Into the hearts of those who hate
Commanding men to horrid tasks
Tempting Heaven and its fate

Their reasoning, self-addicted
Their violence, self-inflicted

Innocents lost among the evil
Husband, daughter, son and wife
Bodies covered red with blood
Their only fault was living life

 

In memory of those lost on November 13, 2015, in the attacks on Paris, France….. May they rest in Peace

We All Grieve

We all grieve
Some of us silently
Some aloud
Each of us choosing
To remain hidden
Or be seen by the crowd

Yet our hearts break
The same either way
As we weep together
The comfort we find
In the ones around
Is hope it will get better

They guide us through
The hurt and pain
Blanketing our sorrow
Of a life cut short
And we say goodbye
To begin again tomorrow

Flares blaze in the sunlight
Marking the field below
Strewn with shattered pieces
Of innocence

The battle continues
For the right to make claim
To a land that does not belong
To any one man

Voices cry out in the night
The sounds of souls making
Their assent to the skies
From which they fell

And the world grieves aloud
And promises justice
For those who could not fight back
For all who were lost

In Memory of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17….R.I.P.
