dark side
suicide

crying out
tears do not lie

somewhere between
life and death

the light shines
at the end

of a tunnel
searching for love

not from anyone
but from inside

where a heart
still beats

forcing life
to flow within

covered in blood
mine or His

scripture says
hold on

prodigal son
return when your

insanity is done
no one is normal

no not even one
each has a gift

to be found
a jihad to be won

before the calm
within the storm

brings one home
not alone anymore

where a father
waits patiently





waits patiently...

i decided to rest today
and take a moment away
to give thanks and pray

for all that i have created

you see, my little one
as you look around
at all i have done

that my greatest joy
is in receiving love
from everyone
even the smallest one

who hopes and prays
and gives thanks
everyday

i have a special gift
for you, it is the gift of time
for you to intertwine
your heart with mine

and as you choose each moment
to be loving and kind
as I AM

then your life is a gift to mine
and light and love will shine
through all of your time

until you return to me
for all eternity

look outside

close your eyes

look inside

and begged for love and healing

and he was forgiven
