Held Tightly in life

Held tightly within the grip of being,
my faith in life is fleeing.
I can't help but find,
that as I am confined,
that my life is leaving me.

Through this portal that is my life I lead,
wishing so much to be freed.

Every corner that I take,
feels like a mistake.
As if who I am today,
is everything but okay.
Who is the me I used to be?
Lost somewhere where I can't see?

I can feel my tears run down my cheeks,
as they tell me of their fears.
All the thoughts seem to move so fast.

The sun behind the clouds is cast,
the end of the tunnel is near,
the end of this darkness... then why this fear?

A hopeful look in my eyes,
But nobody seems to notice.
They pretend not to hear my cries.
My heart feels heavy in my chest,
But they don't seem to notice,
they see me as a pest.

As I leave my footprints in the snow,
I can feel a scream inside me grow,
as I realise... "I'm all alone".
It seems as if all now slips away from me,
the chill, the breeze, the very person I used to be.

I lay here sitll, with my face towards the sky,
I hartly even notice as times flies by.
There is silence here,
 and as I close my eyes,
a world of colour did appear.

Within myself this lovely world I could embrace,
and out of nowhere came a face.
The wind carried his voice to me... 
He spoke of the person I was and could be,
that what I could experience if I could just see,
beyond the veil of time and space.
So spoke that lovely face.

And as if by magic I did find,
that al the darkness was left behind.
The burden I once carried there,
left me free, without a care.

My inner child now dance and sings,
as if carried on fairy wings.

As I fall back down to earth,
it is as my rebirth.
My heart is warm, my face it glows,
and within my heart a flower grows.
It carries the light that was given to me,
the light that set my darkness free.

I am thankfull of this flower here,
and even now I hold it dear.
For it is a gift of love and light,
and with all my might,
I shall attempt to share this light,

That is the promise I here write.

Thank you my sweet guide for all your care and support and for the fact that I can work with you.

Life is useful

Life is useful, even though it may leave you in pain,
Life is useful, even though you may feel like you might go insane!

Life is useful, full of moments that can make you smile.
Life is useful, making you feel as if it's all worthwhile.

Life is useful, even if all hope is lost.
Life is useful, so look back with a smile at all you've lost.

Life is useful, with all the beauty that it shows.
Life is useful, even though not many people can appreciate a single rose.

Life is useful, so do not let it go unseen.
Life is yseful, just turn around and enjoy the scene.

Two souls

Two souls whose hearts are filled with love light.
Two souls whom do not see each others fright.
Two souls who know each other through and through
Two souls who together got to start anew.

Within their arms embraced,
Their darkness was replaced.
With these beams of love and longing,
They found a sense of belonging.

Bonded together now and forever.
Found each other in their endeavour.
Carried into their next life together.
Bonds stronger then any tether.

That love that between them flows,
is like a tree, it grows.
Up into the starlit sky it goes.

And I suppose that when this tree is big and strong,
that it was as loving as it was long. 
Carrying the blossoms of their endeavour. 
Forever.
