That's why it's called betrayal
It is made by our truest of friends
That's why it's called making peace
For we only make peace with our enemies

I can not sleep
For I keep thinking of dying
Life is cacophonous and terrifying
Only death feels quiet and comforting
Something deep within me knows
That death is a woman
Not divine, not even human
Though hooded she may be
She is gentle and graceful
She smells of flowers and rain
Oh, what a beauty
So, tonight when she takes me,
She will lift me like a child
And caress all of my pain away
She will cradle me into the light
Don't feel sorry for me.
I shall sleep peacefully
Lulled by her lullaby

pesky pestering dreams
dumb and disturbing
they all seem
a menace, meaningless
macabre delusions
deceitful in conclusion

While I struggle to build my earthly identity,
I have overlooked the person I aspire to be
when I come face to face with God.
I desire to be strong and rich,
to live at the pinnacle of my dreams.
But how much poorer could I be
chasing all this ephemeral glory?
Have I forgotten to envision life like Mary?
Where the hungry are filled with good things,
the rich are sent away empty,
and the proud of heart are routed.
I have missed the treasures of love, humility, and grace
in pursuit of transient laurels in life's race.

the world is filled
with many mean people
i lie awake at night
thinking about all the hurtful things
they've said to me
and the cruel things they've done to me
but not the hurtful things i've also told them
and the horrible things i've done to them

How great are the things unfathomable:
The vastness of the universe,
The becoming of departed souls,
and ancient life unexplored;
Such is the Holiness of the Divine
Infinite, transcendent, sublime
Perpetually sought by the human mind
Its mysteries untamed by time
But behold, the Creator's majesty
In his creations, lie resilient beauty
From the soaring sky to the deepest sea
Each one is a work of His artistry
We often reject ideas beyond our grasp
The mysteries our minds cannot outlast
So, in times we doubt God's presence,
His love is revealed in nature's essence.

Should you away into the peaceful and the quiet,
under the moonlit skies,
do not bid me goodbye.
Let me soar with you up high.

Folks are dying to sleep
While I am sleeping to die
Folks are dying to live
And here I am living to die

Some days, I'd stare at the sky and whisper, "Perfect."
Sometimes I'd gaze at the mountains and say, "Breathtaking."
At times I'd peer into the deep sea and think, "Amazing."
But everytime I look at the mirror I say, "Beautiful!"

I name you Umbra, the thief of light
Imprisoned you are from whence you came
Nothing but darkness and most fearful night
Horrors define and crown your caliginous name
You sought light upon me, for you saw the sun, the stars, and the moon
In a second, these creatures were pilfered from my kingdom
Your darkness like epidemic grew
I was blinded by your color and you stole all hue.
