My thoughts are with you Lorraine and Scott.
All my Love to you dear, sweet Kaos ❤ ❤
In a time gone by
We laughed, we cried
We joined hands to understand
The way life goes
No tears were lost
No embrace ignored
We lived it all
Life itself was our reward,

Solely
told her what
I think
no anger, sadness
did I convey
Nothing more
than encouragement
nothing more
could
would I say
Moving on
believing
I made a difference
in herself
this hour, this day
Nothing
more
nothing else
did I say.

Memories come
Then
They pass
I ask the question
Did they really happen
Or
Was I in a dream
That wasn’t part
Of my past?
Memories vague
Sometimes
Vibrant as if they happened
Yesterday
Not long ago
In a distant, distant past.
I’ll remember, smile
And be
Reliving memories
Remembering
A past that was
Really me.

Stranger than fiction
Stronger than life
Accepting all visions
Making no fight.
Believing in heaven
The devil and hell
Make no correction
It’ll turn out so well.

I hear and do see
Treasures
Beyond
The breath of eternity.

I see the beauty
The magnificence
In all the land.
As I stand in awe of all
She reaches down
She touches me
She touches all.
She understands.

I see you in the morning light
in the depth of deep darkness
somewhere
in the middle of a quiet night.
You give me pleasure
you give me strength
something to hold on to
when I feel lonely
weak
and out of strength.
No one else
could I conceive will keep me
safe
and be the one
who carries me far from here
far into eternity.

Working hard
But seem stuck in debris
Struggling, attempting
Fighting
To get free.
Is help on the way
Or
Am I by myself
Can I pull it off
Sit back, relax
Harbouring no doubt?
This I hope, I do pray
But as of now
I’m stuck
In
Disaster’s stinking muck.

Felt the feelings
Acknowledged the goal
Can I move forward
Saving
Saving my soul?
No answers
Needed
No thoughts of obtaining
That
Elusive goal.
Just in the feeling
Moving forward
Feeling
Feeling all that I see
I touch
And
Now hold.

They thought
I was crazy
they thought I was nuts
I heard laughter, jeering
silence
smirks that did suck.
From there I went forward
farther than most
believing in my worth
holding tight to that dream
I brought to fruition
this life
I hold close.
