This is about people who have lost someone very close to them, and the struggle that ensues afterwards.  Their lives  fall apart.   It takes time to heal but with hope, faith, and the help from other people you can carry on.   Reach out to a helping hand.  They are all around you.  All you need to do is look, and sometimes not too far.  You also need to rely on your  strength from within to pull you through. That is where you will find peace and God that is within you.  You are stronger than you think.  Believe it.

I've been this way since my mother died
all I do is cry
people I love have all deserted me
my relationships end before they begin.
God takes everyone away from me in the end
I just don't know why.
I'm wandering through life, not being touched
or touching others.  I just don't care.

I'm tired of chasing dreams that never come to pass
my hearts shattered like broken glass
on the sidewalk.
I'm caught between heaven and earth
wandering through life, going this way and that.
It just doesn't matter anymore.
I feel the old familiar pain again
I'm broken and alone and
you're drifting away
it's like I never knew you...

My child, wipe the tears from your eyes
it's okay to try
put me up on your shoulders
let me carry your weight
seek and you shall find
you are never alone
you are forever loved
I'm always here
let hope arise.

I've been this way since my sister passed
it happened years ago.
It came on suddenly and I still haven't gotten over the crash
it blew my mind
and I lost my soul.
I used to see you all the time but now,
you've gone away.
I've lost your prescience. 
I'm blind as the veil has covered me.
I want to see again.
I miss you.
I'm spiritually adrift.

My marriage is in ruins
I go to extremes to save it but it's no use.
I know what's going on
I can't let go of the all too familiar pain,
it's the only thing keeping me sane.
I'm a broken shell of what I once was.
I try to pick up the pieces of my broken life
but it's hard when everything is in strife...

My child, wipe the tears from your eyes
it's okay to try
put me up on your shoulders
let me carry your weight
seek and you shall find
you are never alone
you are forever loved
I'm always here
let hope arise.

There's a third eye awakening
When I close my eyes and breathe.
One eye opens
while two are closed.
The two eyes that are closed see the seven deadly sins.
The one eye that's open
see's a bright light
shining through a doorway.
The door from deep within.
Spirits in the material world.
Intuition grows
synchronicity comes to be
no coincidences. 
A gift
closer to God
creativity flourishes.

The all seeing eye.
The great prophets had it.
The ascended master
Jesus the Messiah found it.
I and the father are one.
I am the way, and the truth, and the life
No man cometh unto the father, but by me.
Dig deeper to find the meaning.
Discern what is truth and what is not.
Search for yourself, travel your own path
to self discovery.
It may take many lifetimes.
It's a spiritual revolution
you'll find it in revelations,
there's an inner war within ourselves.
Good versus evil.
Balance of our twin opposing natures makes us whole again
yin and yang complete the perfect circle.

The eye of consciousness
state of enlightenment.
Destiny is written on our foreheads.
Thy will be done.
Everything is infinite, not finite.
The seat of the soul, cuts the illusion of separation from God.
With great power comes great responsibility,use wisely.
It was open many years ago then closed due to abuse and neglect.
Are we ready to receive again?
We can achieve our full human potential
through this spiritual growth.
The missing piece of life is the third eye awakening.

This was about how many eastern philosophies, cultures, and religions view the third eye being open.  They believe that when the third eye opens, we can become one with God.  According to eastern philosophies, our body is made up of 7 chakras, or wheels of energy throughout the body.  The sixth chakra is the third eye chakra, which is located between the eyebrows.  Opening up this chakra will help with the ability of intuition.  An interesting article by Michelle Fondin can be found at www.chopra.com.  It's about the different chakras and their meanings.

This poem is about people who are struggling everyday, living paycheck to paycheck and trying to make ends meet.  it's also for those who turn the T.V. on and there's nothing but bad news, especially with the election and the way things are going with that.  There is a light at the end of the tunnel.  You need to have hope.  You need to have hope and faith.  With hope and faith things will turn out the way they are supposed to.

I Come home from work, tired and exhausted
gotta pick up the kids from soccer practice,
make dinner and pay bills.
Another day, another dollar don't know how to make ends meet.
Fightin' with family members all week
It is solace that I seek. 
Why has life always been such a long struggle?
Will someone let me know if there's a light at the end of the tunnel, cause I don't see it.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel
do the best you can
with what you have
be humble
the light shines through the darkness
open up your heart and see.
Have faith, have hope and
pray to the good Lord above.

Goin' to school and workin' all day
is bringing me down
I need a new job cause this one's killing me
been applying everywhere but no one's callin'
The frustration is at its boiling point, I feel like I'm fallin'.
What more can I do?
Will someone let me know if there is a light at the end of the tunnel, cause I don't see it.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel
do the best you can
with what you have
be humble
the light shines through the darkness
open up your heart and see.
Have faith, have hope and
pray to the good Lord above.

I get home from night school,
with an aching head, and throw myself down on the bed.
I turn on the T.V. and nothing but bad news.
Wars and talk of wars all around.
terror in the cities
political unrest
the rhetoric high 
the country in turmoil
I close my eyes and cry.
The worlds gone crazy, I just don't understand.
Don't know how much more I can take.
Will someone let me know if there's a light at the end of the tunnel, cause I don't see it.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel
do the best you can
with what you have.
Be humble
the light shines through the darkness
open up your heart and see.
Have faith, have hope and
pray to the good Lord above.

When life's storms hit you
when you feel all hope is lost
and your emotions are tossed 
around by the storm surge
do not be afraid.
Be still and surrender your heart to me.
 
When danger is knocking on your door
and you feel like you need to settle the score
When the path you have taken has not worked out
and all you wanna do is shout
be still and surrender your heart to me.

During the dark times,
When the rains are pelting you from above
and the winds are throwing you off course
when everything looks bleak
and you have lost all control
remember you are one step closer to home, and to
be still and surrender your heart to me.

I will give you rest
I will give you comfort
I will give you hope
I will give you peace
be still and surrender your heart to me.

I wrote a poem called The Other Side Of Suicide.  It’s a different way of looking at things.  I hope this poem serves as comfort for those who lost someone that chose this option as a result of their battle  with the demons of everyday life.  there is hope.  There is always hope.  Even in death there is hope.

The deed is done.
I slipped out of consciousness and into a new form of reality.
The veil has been lifted and now I can see.

I checked out.  Life became hard.
I was going through tough times.
I was in pain.  Deep, deep pain.
Nothing mattered.
I was scared and didn't know what to do,
actually, I knew exactly what to do 
but didn't know what the outcome would be.
I really didn't want to hurt the one's I left behind,
my dear friends and family, but I had no choice. 

I hid my feelings well.
I know people would have tried to talk me out of it
so when they asked if I was okay I said yes, even 'till the end.
I wanted to do it
I have no regrets.
Some of you are worried that I am in hell,
but the only hell there is, is what man has created in his own mind.
There is no separation from God, for God is within us.
Hell is when we don't recognize that.

I am however, in my own personal hell
because I didn't see the God within me.
I'm reviewing my life now, and I will come back again,
for that is the law of the universe.
God forgives and loves,
it is truly amazing grace.

Don't mourn for me too long dear one's.
There is darkness in the night
but the sun comes up at dawn.
There is hope in life and in death.
I want to thank that special person that spoke at my funeral.
It was beautiful and moving.
I had tears in my eyes.

There are many life path potentials to choose from. 
To be or not to be my friends, that is the question.
Always keep me in your thoughts, for I am always in yours.
Light a candle in my memory and say a little prayer for me,
for God answers them 
in his own way and time.
Hold me close to your hearts,and know
I will always be with you.
