I saw you there by the fire
A shape of light, so fair, all in white
I said my love to the wind
My solemn pray somehow you would hear
But in floated in my mind
Drowning with all the things I never said

I feel so alone now that you are gone
Time it seems to sta

She was his whole world, daddy's little girl
Suddenly she was gone
He's filled with such guilt, though he knows
No one was to blame

Taken in the flower of her youth
There is no sense to be made of senselessness

Reflections cloud his mind
A smile so bright, ribbons

There is so much more here than meets the eye
All we've built is sand slipping through calloused hands
Now time to wake at last and realize
We will reap the seed we've sown

Can we still find some hope inside

There is a cancer spreading out across the land
Blackened ta

This is the day of rape
Molest the masses of their hope
Cause them to bear the stain
Their dreams will lie betrayed

Standing elite and above
Looking down on insect minds
Rapture fears are for the feeble
The lest of these we despise

What of us the meek and wear

There is a place where I go
Hidden so very far from sight
Deep inside my mind
A tiny room is tucked away
No one finds me
I'm a stranger even to myself

Sitting here lost so deep in thought
A loner alone within my head
Detached and hollow
I escape into a dista

I saw a man with head in hands crying out God is dead
For hours and hours on end he poured out his convictions
Never met a man more wanting to be wrong
Searching for something to believe in

There was a child with nothing left in his world to fear
No creatures lurking in the

I climb these hights only to look down
All I see flowing out before me is crumbling down

Can you see what my eyes see
All these fields once so green
Now a tangle of decayed
Twisted trees and rotting vine

Here's a kingdom for sale
Nothing left only a shell
Welc

The more I learn the less I feel I know
The world changes rapidly around me
Yesterday the sky shone blue as the vultures sang
Tonight they cry through inviting darkness

What I've learned I can not hide
Tempted by anger, lured by lust

Commanded my servant to bring me w

I feel lost again today
Looking for something to ease the pain
A drug in keeping with righteousness
To dull my memories of the past

Will you heal my wounds with your hands
Can you make these blind eyes see again
Are you ever present when I fall
Keep me safe until th

All I wanted was to be understood
Someone to listen to my hopes and fears
To much to ask of a so-called friend
That's when the downward spiral began
In my hour of need
On a day of grief
When all seemed lost
You turned away from me

Where are you now
I'm left

Flowers gentley lain upon the headstone
A memories fallen tears
All our lost loves will be resurrected
Ghosts are those familiar friends calling

New Dimension
Sheeding flesh and bone
Stripped of this mortal coil
Spirits soaring

Rain cascades down in sheets of

If I were to tell you
There waits a beast behind the door
What would your mind conjure
But feelings of fear
What if it were a ghost
The spirit of one long dead
What feelings fill your heart then
Deepest darkest dread

Beyond the gates of infinity
Nothing natu

Feel the confines of the flesh closing in
Constricting souls with the shackles of sin
From streams of shame flow a life's regret
Blood tinged tears congeal within

Open of your eyes
See where absolution hides

The stranger comes and you grow afraid
The sound that yo

Watching the sky for starlight
Point of flame in a dismal night
Torrents of rain never ceasing
Storms dark like these thoughts
That plague me while I'm alone

In a crowd of strangers I feel most alone
Myriad of strange painted faces smiling like a friend
But when I

Shallow graves in the morning dew
A sea of souls denied their youth
Actor leaves the stage
No one heard what he had to say
Standing at an unmarked tomb
Those who lived were oh so few
Clarity of vision fades
Tragedies make the best of plays

In dark places terror

Staring out into the abyss
Holding tight to my nothing
There is nothing here to hold

Walking out into the void
I see nothing at all
No colors, no light
Is this life?
Then a darkness covers the land
Formless shapes, inaudible sounds
Tugging hands are pulling

A state of confusion
Swirls inside my head
Shadows of truth unseen
Dance on the periphery
What is unchallenged?
What is writ in stone?
Black veils of indecision
Covering all my cares

There is comfort in knowing what you believe
But true power of conviction a

Swirl the dust into my eyes
A taste of pain to let me know I'm still alive
If I'm to be the martyr
I'll meet my end with head held high
Infliction of the thorn

There was no garden of roses
Ever promised to you or me
Yet in spite of all our suffering the power grows<

See the smile of a child
Hear the cries of a mother
Feel the wind swirl
And wonder from where it comes
Made in God's image
And given dominion
Distinguished by reason
And still the doubts remain

Open my eyes, uncloud my mind

Pieces of the puzzle
Appear

Winter's voice is calling out my name
Summons with cold promises
Leading me on by frozen candlelight
Gathering to sight a numb dull pale white

Walking through this forest in my mind
Browning leaves cruching under foot
Shadowed vale filled with abandoned still life
