the night's as a dark cave
when you're in a test
you can look unto the east
look unto the west
no light to follow clearly
like a banjo out of tune
you chant a mass of chaos
to an uncaring
moon

BUT

there are
stars around the corner
there are
stars behind the door
stars outside your window
when you can't take anymore
stars, they have a sparkle
all their very own
they can warm you
like a hearth
or chill you to the
bone

look up!
dark nights don't last
and though there may be rain
the thunderstorms are passing
you will see the SUN again!
this ol' earth, it keeps on turning
and though the stars are gone
you know it's always
darkest
just
before
the

dawn

so just keep looking up
for Jupiter and Mars
but be sure
to make your wishes

to the

MAKER OF THE STARS

Its almost 3 o'clock in the morning and I can't sleep. My father went into the hospital last night. I am cheering myself up with this poem. I don't know what's going to happen in the future. If my father goes into a care home I will be moving. But whatever happens I know that God will help me through it. I am relying on him more than ever these days. I am praying more than ever. If it seems like I'm not on site very much, it's because I need to be communing with the Maker of the stars.

Thanks for understanding.

☆ LOVE YOU ALL! ☆
You'll see one day,
when you're only nineteen
and life is a liquid
in which you swim
and drink deeply of,
that life will get you drunk
and you'll sleep so soundly
and dream your golden dreams
until one day you wake up
and you'll be thirty-three.

Hungover from living
a little too quickly,
you'll think to yourself:
*what happened to me?
Yes, I see my pride.
Yes, I glimpse the light.
I thought I lost this feel inside.
This whole day's had my head in the night.
This realization brings me to ears, the tears bring me to my knees.
Don't mind my crying, I am only healing, but hug me if you please.
Not as strong I was, I see that by what I've been lately.
My late accomplishments have been more than doubtful, in my mind they've been shaky.
This is about more than just today,
there's still more for me to say.
More for me to sit down give in a chance to pray.
I no longer hear the silence, but these thoughts put me in the dark.
I know realize I'm broken, and broken to my heart.
My mind, it chokes on the thoughts of my feelings.
I think that I'm bleeding,
poison it seething,
through my veins,
through my brain.
It's my intentions that are stained.
Except it creates my memories black and white, the color has escaped.
Don't get me wrong, I know the wrong is mine.
It's bittersweet, the taste is strong and it is fine.
Cuts my heart like a knife, slays my will like a sword.
Takes me to the edge of what I don't know anymore.
Then the light, it shows.
And my pain of wrong, it grows.
Shattered, no longer together.
Never again forever.
