When you fall asleep
And lost in dreams
Does your heart keep
What no one sees?
Does your soul speak words
Of times gone by
And the stars at night
Keep the truth inside?
When your breathing slows
And your eyes are closed
Does your mind subside
To the still of night?
When the wind brakes free
And the leaves all fall
Do your thoughts belong
To you at all?
And when the moon will wane
Does your soul remain
Chained in fear and pain
Only free to strain?
When the truth you know
Seems to seldom go
Will your heart still beat
As at night you sleep?
And when a star shoots down
From the midnight sky
Will you still be here
Always at my side?
When your soul weeps
For the tears you keep
Will you ever find
That you will be free?
And when the morning dawns
Upon a brand new day
Will your soul still find
A journey laid?
And if you listen close
To the morning sun
Will your dreams come true
Only One by one?
And if all is said
When all is done
Does your heart belong
To at least someone?
And if  goodbye becomes
What today will be
Will you think of life
And remember me....

Dark the sky in midnight hour
Keeps the stars at night
When dreams we dream
Are born anew and takes off in flight
The moon we see way up high
Illuminate the sky
Clouds become the keepers off
Every tear thats cried
Yesterday was once ago
Tomorrow still unknown
The day had come-the day had go
The present-all we own
And as the night calls to the wind
To guide our hopes anew
The way in which our journey lie
The path for me and you
Be still my wanting aching heart
Broken up and blue
For what the night has brought become
The light of all thats true
So sleep my soul in moonlight hue
A promise will abide
When hence the darkness turn again
Into the morning light
May Angels wings be at your side
And keep watch over you
And every star that shines so bright
Keep all that you will do

She has heard of hope
An entity from which one cope
She has heard of peace
A state of utter and total release
She has heard of belonging
A space in time to own
She has heard of all these things
Yet she herself
Have never received

She has seen miracles and light
The darkness that flee into night
She has seen care and safety
Yet she herself
Have never felt lately

She has heard only hatred
Thoughts so violent
She is wrapped in fear
And enclosed in silence
Surely this must be her own doing?

She fears the nights
When expected he comes
His presence and stance
Wrapped in violence
As he mocks her innocence
She closes her eyes for tollerance

And she fights no more
Though shes heard of survival
He is stronger than her
An unwelcomed rival
And she cries tears stained
By the blood on her face
As she sits and waits
For night to turn into day
And for "normal" to function
Isnt this my own way?

She has heard the song
That a nightingale sings
Oh how ever little of
Joy it still brings

Her frailty and youth
Keeps her far from the truth
In her short life lived
She has yet to fulfill
And it almost feels
As if life maybe will be
Better than what she has heard
And seen

He finds himself standing there
Arms helplessly outstretched
A desperate plea to those who see
With nothing he calls his own

He makes eye contact shamefully
To those that pass him by
He tries to speak words
But is surrounded in silence

Excuse me sir-he hopelessly think
Can you spare a dime?
But these thoughts never leaves
his tired mind

A man to his right
Whistles as he walks by
Hey homeless,he cries
Get a job and stop whining

He pretends he cant hear him-
As the passerby starts to smile
You got yourself in this
Now homeless get a life!

His feet are swollen
From aimlessly standing all day
He tries to walk
But his legs dont comply

He hears laughter from the passerby
As he turn to face the sun
Inside his soul is aching
Yet its another day only begun

As the day race on
He finds more people walking by
As if they try to hide
The fact that hes  there

Excuse me madam
Can you help me please?
But the tears in his eyes
Is not enough to convince

She picks up her pace
As she hurries on by
Not today,she yells
And then turns out of sight

He finds himself standing there
Lord,how did i let this be?
Is there still hope,he wonders
Alone and Tearily
Would death bring freedom
From this misery?
Is there nothing oh Lord
You can do...

The sun starts to set in the sky
Soon it will become night
And as the cold wind picks his face
He knows the streets he will pace

And within his eye
He sees a darkness passing by
Its just another day leaving
Yet another plea dying in plain sight

Its the unfairness of Life....

Once
You held my hand
it gave me courage ,
alone to stand-
I know i had to try
lift my spirit way up high
Like i could touch the full moon
In the  sky
When once you held my hand

Once
You softly said to me
Forever and for always
With you i"ll be
It gave me strength
To look inside
To know i"d make it
someday
be free
When once you softly said to me

Once
You stood right next to me
We listened as the waves
Ebb in
From the wide  sea
Never had i known the truth
That someday i'd be losing you
When once you stood next to me

And i remember
How Still your peacefull gaze
Your eyes
That beckoned freedom
From this earthly space
And all the pain
You delt with
That i couldn't take
Away from you
May Heaven welcome back you-
And i recall
The moment when your
Breath subsided
I turned my face from you
To only try and hide
these tears i had
in my eyes
Knowing as your hand
slipped from mine-
No fear and without sorrow
You will ever again know


And now
Im thinking back on once ago
The days we had
I thought that would never go
With only the memory
Of once before
I keep with me
May truth
Reach you from this mortal shore-
And
I still believe in someday
Having once just once more
UnTill then,
I will try to carry forth
Looking at the star point north
Knowing
You are lookin down
on me

Once more.....
