Every time I come here

I think about my dear friend

I see the poems he's written

and the comments he would send

It's hard to believe he left us all

for a place that's better still

I just hope he's got two pennies

instead of a dollar bill

He always made me smile

and sometimes laugh a lot

He always was a gental sort

who joked about his ***

A friend is what he was indeed

to many on this site

He knew he wasn't perfect

nor was he always right

Paddy my dear friend, I will miss you

And I hope you find your way

Your pain is gone, and your sadness too

It's the start of a whole new day
Don't forget Paddy, you promised you would have the Fosters ready and waiting for me... ^_^

Life is a repeating cycle...
everything you have ever seen
has been seen before
everything you have felt
has been felt before
everything you have touched
has been touched before
every emotion you have had
has already been had before

The only difference is...
it's been done by someone else
or in a different body
during a different life
or a different time
when you were young
or in the years to come
it will repeat and has repeated
for thousands of years

The anger, love, passion, and even
your personal thoughts.
they are never truly yours
others have had the exact same
perhaps towards a different soul
perhaps the same soul but a different time

It all repeats, and it always will repeat
I look at the young, as well as the old
and it's always the same
the only difference is... there faces

Nightmares steal the sleep from me.
My mind is my, worst enemy.
The monsters are inside my head.
Where torture comes, in sheets of red.

I toss and turn and cry all night.
But no one hears, my mental fight.
Is this what's left, of reality?
When I run to find, my sanity.

I bang my head against the wall.
When the monsters, in my mind do call.
There high pitch screech is what I hear.
But the crimson, left behind I fear.

There's a battle going on, inside my head,
If I don't run, I will be dead.
Walls are tumbling, all around.
And bodies cover, the ****** ground.

I wake up all drenched in sweat.
A cup of coffee, I go and get.
No more sleep for me that night.
Sleep will come with strength to fight.

The ancient cry, of the wolf I hear.
Out in the darkness, they come near.
They live in packs, so you can see.
A family's what, they want to be.

They hunt to live, and live to hunt.
From the biggest wolf, down to the runt.
Out in the darkness, home sweet home.
Through the hills, they will roam.

We try to ****, and make them extinct.
But there are places, that they retreat.
They take revenge, on our cattle and sheep.
There pack will ****, while we will sleep.

We take there land, and hope they'll go away.
But we begin a war, with nature on that day.
The wolf is free, and they always will be.
The most beautiful creature, I can see.

I can write about love, ***, or even money, power, and greed.

I can write about Jesus, and how the bible will plant a seed.

I can write about the wealthy, and I can even write about the poor.

I can write about the hungry, and the cold, who will beg of you at the door.

I can write about sadness, loneliness, and sometimes the pain.

I can write about depression and suicide, the sun and the rain.

I can write about all of these things, and so much more.

But there's something I can't write about, because I don't know how, to open that door.

In the dark, the monsters are there.

Hoping that they, will give you a scare.

There is no good, but always bad.

I wanted protection, but where was my dad.


And so I ran, on through the night.

Running forever, to find the light.

The light was not there, and I could not see.

Whatever was happening, happening to me.


I cried for help, but it was weak.

My voice had become, a quiet squeak.

And so they hurt me, one by one.

They laughed and they joked, as they had there fun.


And so in the end, I lay on the ground.

Beaten and bruised, until I was found.

It's my fault, I am to blame.

That's what they said, when they said my name.

Sitting here in the dark

the power has gone out

so I think about my life

and where I am today

I think about the ones I love

as well as the ones who left

I hear the wind chimes

singing there beautiful song

It's funny how a clanging noise

can be so inspiring to me

with the woodstove

releasing the heat within

warms my body and heart

just like the love of Jesus

warms my soul

Every thing becomes so peaceful

when the power goes out

All the distractions are gone

and it's a time to focus

on the things that really matter.

What would happen

if the power went out on you

who would you turn to

who would get you through

what would you think about

what would you do

when the power goes out

on little ol' you
