Crisis In My Mind

It is beyond my understanding.
I cannot come to terms with it.
And I am not sure that it is mine.

I hurt from deep within.
A place that I cannot hide.
I have it hidden well.

My heart burns deep within.
My mind is running faster each moment.
And I am not sure that they care.

They will never know how I feel.
And this I carry with me forever.
Never able to say it.

I will never understand it.
Sometimes I hope I never will.
A pain that stains the soul.

I hope that someday it will go away.
But I am not sure that it will.
So hiding within myself is all I have for now.

Can you help with this trouble?
Will I ever be the same?
Can I find myself in this world of pain?

I have tried for many years.
And was almost there one day.
But then you left and went very far away.

Now I can not tell you.
For you have gone to Him.
He will keep you safe and never worry again.

If by chance he lets you.
Would you come by one more day?
For love never Ends when it Begins.

The Final Scene

Here I am at the beginning of the day.
Knowing that you have gone far away.
Yet it is close when I look to my heart.
Even though we may be apart.

Thank You for the gift you gave.
I will cherish all the rest of my days.
I would have liked to say goodbye.
But I know now that it was no mistake.

As you walk through those pearly gates.
Give a nod for us who are in wait.
I look forward to see you again.
But know that I will miss you until then.

So I dedicate my page to you.
Because of what you meant to me.
A friend and love without question.
A memory of life that cannot compare.
With where you are way up in the air.

So I love you now, I loved you then.
I hope some day we’ll be together again.
Remember me as I do you.
This page is just for you.

 

Dedicated to two wonderful Friends.

To my dear friend with Love.

May they rest in peace.

The End Of It

Just when the sun sets.
Just when it seems the day is over.
Just as I close my eyes.
Suddenly they open again.

The voice rushes through my head.
I can not find it so I can not understand it.
My life flashes brightly in front of my eyes.
I jump up to sit on the side of the bed.

I look around the room.
There is no one there but me.
There is no speaker.
There are no pictures.
There is just me.

I fold my arms moaning.
I look at what I have written.
Then I hear the voice.
The one from long ago.

Yet, it seems different this time.
And even now it is not clear.
I look down to the floor.
No, tears do I have.

For in my life I have lost many things.
And in my life I have watched people die.
Yet the thought of you confuses my mind.
Taken from life so soon seems impossible to me.

But as day breaks you are joined by another.
And then my heart is heavy and I begin to weep.
Only then does the pain start.
Only then does the morning start.

Never again will I say this.
Never again will I try.
And when the day is over.
I will dream of you again.

And that will be the end of it.
The moment you were taken away.

To my dear friend with Love.

You

In the darkness of the night.
And the dawn of the day.
I look for you.

A friend for life you have been.
A legacy you have left us.
To soon you have gone.

Many love you.
Many still do.
Others will wonder all about you.

We will miss you.
We will  miss your smile.
We will miss your voice.
We will look for those glowing eyes.

The laughter you have left us.
Is the greatest thing you can do.
We know you are in good hands.
We know that it is true.

But a little part of our life is missing.
And that part is you.

To my dear friend with Love.

There You Are, Nothing More

The Grass will grow.
Flowers will bloom.
The rain will fall.

The Sun will rise.
And it will set.
The Moon will rise.

In the stillness of the day.
And the Darkness of the night.
I see you smiling.

In the stillness of the Night.
And in the Light of the Sun.
I see you standing there.

The Wind will blow.
The trees will sway.
I see you walking in the tall grass.

As the Grass grows.
And the flowers bloom.
The rain will fall.
And the Sun will rise.
It will set in the west.
And the Moon will be our light.

Because in the Stillness of the Night
When the wind blows in the window.
Surely the trees will sway.
As we pass the day away.

The grass is gone.
The tree with your name has been removed.
The wind still blows.
And in that stillness.
Dark or Light.
I still see you smiling standing  there.
Next to me as we lay in the grass.

I wonder where you are.
I remember the rides in the car.

I see you there.
I see you standing.
I see you smiling
I see you.

In the stillness of the dark or light.
When smiles and love was in the air.
There you were, just you nothing more.
