I thank those of you
Who treated me
In my ‘Blond’ time
With respect and dignity.
And for those
Who laughed
And ridiculed
I thank you too.
For you have let me see
There are beautiful people
In this world
And ones filled
With misery.
You have a place
Here in this world
But it is nowhere
Near or part of me.

When the rains fell down
The sky was blue
Feeling all the misery
That’s come to you.
Tears of sadness
Heartache blue
Rains fell, not only crying
But to comfort you.

Did you forsake me, leave me to die?
Will my heart break, will I know why?
Power and strength are not given to cry
But for me the world is misery
Forsaken, cloudy and die.

Pushing thru the misery
Coming out in the light of beauty
In someone else’s memory.

Imagine
Today is your last day.
What would you say?
Where would you go?
What would you see?
Would it be beauty
Or misery?
I don’t know
Can’t see
But hope I’d make it
The best day to last me
An eternity.

Loaded down with agony
I push past the entrance
Into hell.
Hope desperately not to dwell
But see the possibility
If I do not undo this awful spell
Stuck down here in my misery
Stuck down here in my hell.
See the light above me
See the stairs lace up from here
Trace the steps back up thru agony
Past the entrance out of here.
Out the gates of Hell into loving
Living memories in a wondrous
Earthly Heaven where there is
No more wretched hell.
Blessed be this living
Please do let me dwell
Here in Heaven
Crushing all sadness
Rising up from awful
Awful hell.

More comes to life
Seen with eyes
Not filled with misery.
Joy and happiness prevail
We know we cannot fail
Searching for a life indeed
A life I need
Travelling with a presence
That has utter bliss.
Searching we will find
Our destiny here on earth
And it will be
Yours and mine.

Faze the feelings cope and see
Journey harrowing not to be.
Steady, steadfast stand your ground
Bend to no one let them sound
All their misery way back down.
People cope, people be
The best they can
In spite of a misguided destiny.

Misery is suppressed and replaced by endless joy.
