Oh and then it goes
But softer even then you know
And it kisses you sweetly
With it's everlasting glow.

The stranger that you
thought you knew so well,
Instead of glimpses of Heaven
he shows you your hell

When the blue of the sky
Is taken over by the grey,
Just think of the sunrise
That will soon make it go away.

And know, that you are
The one I dream for.
And softly ever more it goes.
But what is the eternity,
I feel all the time.

And sadness is as cruel
as the fire that kills the rose.
So instead, open your heart
Make it a place where love grows.

And rejoice in the sweetness
Of the long awaited time,
When you are the only
Thought of mine.

The song I sing is never ending.
It echoes clear with every rhyme.
And everyone will keep the singing
In tune to mine.
I wrote this by singing it to notes that I thought would go with the words I was writing at the time. To understand the full beauty, sing the poem with a sweet and soft melody that comes to your mind. It will transport you

How are you?
          I just had to send you this letter to tell you how much I love you and care about you. I saw you yesterday as you were walking with your friends. I waited all day hoping you would talk to me also.
          As evening drew near, I gave you a sunset to close your day and a cool breeze to rest you- And I waited, you never came, oh! yes it hurt me, but I still love you because I am your friend.
          I saw you fall asleep last night and I longed to touch your brow, so I spilled moonlight upon your pillow and face. Again I waited, wanting to rush down so we could talk. I have so many gifts for you.
          You awakened late and rushed off for the day... my tears were in the rain.
          Today you looked so sad, so alone. It makes my heart ache because I understand. My friends let me down and hurt me many times too, but I love you. I try to tell you in the quiet green grass, I whisper it in the colors of the flowers, I shout it to you in the mountain streams and give the birds love songs to sing. I clothe you with sunshine and perfume the air. My love for you is deeper than the oceans and bigger than the biggest want or need you have.
           We will spend eternity together in heaven. I know how hard it is on this earth. I really know because I was there and I want to help you. My Father wants to help too, He's that way you know. Just call me... ask me, talk to me. It is your decision. I have chosen you and because of that I will wait, because I love you.
                                        Your friend,
                                              Jesus

As you lie awake in bed
See the rich warm blackness.
Let my voice cradle you with it's
Deep and soft tones and lay
Down your head and
Feel the thick night under
Your blankets and sink
Deeper into your long awaited
Honey-sweet covers and close your
Weighted eyelids as the
Movie of your day replays and
Hear my voice calm you as
You slip into the dry velvet river that
Carries you into the starless and
Cloudless perfect soft blackness just
Lie there in comfort and try

Not to think of all the
Monsters that come out in
The **Dark
Sweet Dreams

His hands turn the pages,
His eyes read the books.
His throat makes the sounds,
His lips form the words.

His feet shuffle forward,
His car goes to and fro.
His fingers type at a desk
click clack click clack
His pockets hold the checks.

His body is all accounted for.
His work is done for the best of the best.
His mind is off at rest.

From the tree comes leaves
From the flower comes pollen
From my heart comes love

Remember the good things,
Forget the bad.
Don't pretend they didn't happen,
Just don't let them make you sad.
There are millions of memories,
Waiting to be had.

The best times are waiting,
The good times have past.
So remember the good things,
So the rest is not that bad
We all have rough patches and things don't always go the way we want, but we can either cling to what went wrong, or soar with the things that turned out right.
