Life is filled with suffering
All this pain and sorrow
All this hurt
Endless despair
Will I see tomorrow?
Everything's dark
No light to be seen
Blood is all around
Long nights
Dreamless sleep
With only one soft sound
The sound of tears
A sniffling nose
Blue lifeless eyes
All you held
All you loved
Forever out of reach
Lost in darkness
A deep abyss
Misery, disbelief
In this life of suffering
All this pain and sorrow
How can we ever find the hope
To seek and gain tomorrow?

Two cities
Side by side
A flowing river
The only divide
To cross this river
This steady stream
They build a bridge
A golden gleam
It reflects the sun
It sparkles the river
Along with the moon
The small light sliver
They make it glow
So great and grand
Watch waters flow
Past shores of sand
This bridge is build
Yet gold is weak
A precious metal
We often seek
For it is shaped by hands
That don't need tools
Emotional molds
Our feelings in jewels
For we mold the gold
Into what we want
Our desires reflected
Our hearts, we flaunt
We wanted a bridge
To unite the cities
To travel across
To ship wine and cheese
To trade goods and Information
Experience and memory
Our hearts transportation
And our personality
But the golden bridge
Can't take the weight
Of all these goods
Across the straight
And slowly we see
That piece by piece
The bridge fades
And the trades cease
The bridge sinks down
For gold can not bear
The weight of our hearts
And the love that we share
Curse the emotion
That molded the gold
Time has tarnished the work
And our bridge becomes old
Its color fades
It's strength fails
And into the river
Downstream it sails
The trade falls in
The good cease to flow
The sun no longer
Makes the water glow
It all fades away
The cities grow distant
And everything is lost
The downfall is instant
We doomed ourselves
From the very start
We built a bridge
Made to fall apart
Our emotions that founded
A great experience together
Would cause us to separate
Now distant, forever

Mystery surrounds
We can not tell
We know not
How we fell
I am cursed to walk
Among those down low
Where people pass
And time is slow
Where leaves turn brown
Where rivers freeze
Where the sky turns dark
And you can feel the breeze
This foreign place
I do not know
I want the truth
That will never show
I want to be told the secret
To this foreign land
But I fear I lost the bet
Question is, at who's hand?

You walk, you drive,
You live your life
And yet you feel
So much strife
You're filled with anger,
Sorrow, and tears
You've been this way
For many years
And with each year
A new tear comes
A new face flees
A person runs
For no one sees
Your pain within
Their eyes are blind
Brains in a spin
They are there
No words to share
No life to live
No breathe to give
Questions unanswered
Messages left
Moods unchecked
Intentions neglect
The reason behind
Is silence ahead
No fulfilled request
Loneliness and dread

In the lot
The sky is dark
But everything is lit
I can see
The passing cars
But not the passing stars
I can feel the cool cold dark
But also I feel the light
The light of Christ
Shining in me
Shining to show me the way
But the light
I'm about to see
Isn't mine
But its a gift so divine
To see the work others do
To be apart of their work
I see cross after cross
Painted on the lot
I see light among the dark
I moved myself inside the lines
That is where I park
As I step out I see a world
More beautiful than ever
One bounding for joy
Abundant in life
And bright as ever
Amidst the cruel chaos
Happening around
Here is a sphere of hope
An aura of safety
A place of worship
All inside a church
What blessings will come next?

You invest time
Money, and mind
Soul and heart
But in the end
All you see
Is love broke apart
You try your hardest
You give your all
But it never will safice
So why try
Why push ahead
When every step
Is a sacrifice
You do everything
With perfection
Trying hard not to offend
You do so great
Perfection really
Then you fall off
the deepest end
Your mind goes dark
Your thoughts become fear
And never do you mend
Your unconscious thoughts
Your fear of loneliness
Have now appeared
Be her friend
Let her grow close
The demons all sneered
But then those demons
They have won
They applauded and cheered
You've been left
Abandoned
Alone
A powerful light
A beacon of hope
That had once shone
Now dead in the tower
Hides above
Never to walk bellow
You have tried
You gave your all
But even perfection
Is only third best
Is this a test?
To try my worth?
To check where my faith lies?
If so why have You left?
The temple gone
The millenium far
Unhearing to their cries

Time with you
Walks and talks
Drives and shops
Never is a waste
I cherish the minute
The moment
The hour
It passes by
In haste
Never does it feel
Like it lasted long enough
Always passes by too fast
But it's joy
Will always last
You make me happy
Time with you
My favorite thing
I get to know you more
Talking with you
My favorite words
I wonder if you snore?
Walking with you
My favorite steps
Along the rivers shore
Sitting with you
My favorite rests
My heart wants to soar
Eating with you
My favorite sight
Food never is a chore
Dates with you
My favorite nights
Endless fun, smiles galore.
At these times
Time spent with you
My happiness shoots high
My mind awakes
My heart is alive
I feel at peace inside
But pursuing you
Is my favorite call
For it is with you
I can overcome all

A candle sits
On top a desk
A lonely flame
A shining light
But then the darkness
Breaks away
Another light
Now shines real bright
It casts a flicker
It catches the eye
Of the other
candle present
Is this light
This flicker
This flame
A friend?
Or maybe this sight
Should be a source
Of worry, dread,
And fear
After all,
It seems that each
And every year
A new candle
Can be seen
So is it a friend,
A foe,
A fear,
Or is it someone
Who should be
Brought near?

No matter the twinkle
No matter the star
No matter the wish
Or the distance far
No matter the night
Or the monsters fright
There is someone
With all the might
Watching, listening
Keeping you safe
It's our Father Above
With eyes of love
He desires your best
A good nights rest
A kiss and a hug
With no bed bug
A sweet calm dream
Of a steady stream
Or a sailors ship
Or a family trip
No matter the vision
Through out the night
There is our Father above
Who keeps away all fright

Your head
Is in a spin
But sometimes that
Is what you need
To see the earth
In its orbit
Around the sun
It spins around
It never stops
Always in motion
So spinning
In life
In shadow
In your head
Or in your heart
Should only be
Seen as natural
