Take what you will
And allow me to follow
Just meet me halfway
And together as one
We can see this creation
As it unfolds before us
Like an eternal flower
In space and time
Growing in a magic garden
Of faith and understanding
That will bear the fruit
Of peace and love
For all to see
The howling of the wind
Thunder crashing
Lightning flashes
Angry...waves upon the shore
But all the pales
To the intensity
That is you
Crazy...like the eye
Of a hurricane so still
It's a powerful thing
To be loved by you
Untamed and wild
A force of nature
Once... I stood with you
Now I stand alone
Sometimes I wonder
How I really survived
The fury and then chaos
When everything turned around
Without any warning
Some great test of time
Mind over Matter
But it really doesnt matter
Cause I've got my faith
To take back my power
And walk away
So it's finally done
No more sleepless nights
No more dodging bullets
And no more you.
( May 7th 2009 )
It's all over for you now
The curtain has fallen
And the stage has cleared
All that is left is a ghost
Rattling around
In my memory
There is
No more fear
No more tragedy
No more pain
And the fires
That raged in your eyes
Has been forever quenched
You've gone home
Rest in peace my friend
