Someday you’ll hear a whisper Someday you’ll hear a sound You’ll feel my voice inside you and know that I’m around That day you’ll sense a soft touch It's more than wind at play You’ll know that I’m inside you and that is where I’ll stay How can I live life? Please don’t cry… live life. Don’t cry…

On his way to see her - Holding hope but shaken fully to the core Does he have the will or possess the back to find the strength to seal the cracks through which their world may pour? Stable but she’s waiting - Could she know the storyline that may unfold? A simple walk or endless race? Can they find the will to bear and face the words they may be told? Nowhere else to go, alone but side by side they’re waiting for the snow A world at peace, or buried deep? A dusting or a scale in feet? With little way to know. Though you're falling through this feel anew this place has always been here To begin a state to meet the fate of everyone before you. A timeless play of energy though time here all means naught to me Exchange, convert, ascend, or fade the change is one that must be made I guide you from the first to last the futures many and the past The cycle churns, the wicks will burn from light to dark again will turn Please don’t leave. Stay with me She’s gone…

Shattering 01:01
All you are is crystal clear to me Pass my hands through air in disbelief You should be here sitting close to me Now all you were may have shattered As the shards begin to bleed my grief
5.
I remember the times river rush and rolling by Laughing in the summer skies before a darkening goodbye Sharpened words lack empathy Hardening this legacy A crystal heir apparently a sequel of apology Now I’m here awake While you’re flying sleeping Wakening in me... Gone now An heir apparent to a kingdom of complexity Conflicting words of crashing hope signaling this legacy Four remain to play the game and questions play again and again Broken lives in open skies reflecting back from open eyes I am here awake While you’re flying sleeping Wakened now in me... Gone now

This Healing 06:44
The universe is cold we’re told Bought and sold but search for gold... for healing To make, provide, misguide, collide Then take us to the other side... for healing We quest for life and think we’re right And chase until we lose our sight... for healing We lose our way, direction strays And pray for sanity to stay... for this healing This healing, This healing It’s all a part of the fabric of this healing

Rage 07:49
It's like a frozen cascade cold and hard on the outside But life is frantic underneath The waters looks to break free not if but certainty Emotions searching for a breach An action too late? A human mistake? The handoff by fate? With nothing left to face (but the) RAGE. HATE. Augmented mental ardor a bolt without a mark A wayward cauldron’s rim exceeds A pyroclastic gas flow a lone destructive wake Of ash and embers and debris The handoff of fate is not a mistake A testing of faith and all I create (is this) PAIN. SHAME. …and I feel the darkness take control of me… …the shadow of the man… (breathe) The tension builds; Ill tempered will A rising tide that won’t subside A self made cage blind with rage

I've avoided this place built from anguish and fear Not one drop of goodness can be summoned from here Nothing makes sense to me I am here all alone The price has been declared and is written in stone The dust has all cleared I can see all around There is no trace of karma There is no justice found When you’re finally emerging from what's left of your soul You’ve found you had to dig deep to get out of the hole Betrayed by the gods as the Devil's cold laugh Wedges in my bones rips my soul right in half The powers that be will be See us all as the same Demanding their tariff without mercy or shame When you’re finally emerging from what's left of your soul (Please save my soul) You’ve found you had to dig deep to get out of the hole (Help me be whole) And l scream at a God who stranded me I ask both Him and you "how could you leave me?" Have you come here to collect all the wages for my sins? Then leave me cold in hollowed darkness here alone in the abyss? Chasing questions that forever will persist Chasing karma that never did exist Did you put me together only now to rip me apart? With your barbed wire dagger plunging deep into my heart Slowly pushing all these thorns into my head I can’t feel them since I feel I’m all but dead

Rain 04:41
The sky went grey on her last day Time goes so fast, all fleeting past The chance to know had come and gone Escaped my grasp, now left alone The sky now clear but not my mind The tortured soul unthreads, unwinds With each new test I bend, not break Seems not much left that I can take When pouring rain begins again I step outside and close my eyes Extend my arms with head held high Look for my chance to say goodbye A time to laugh, a time to cry, a time to live, a time to die A time to leave, no time to stay, time just a gift to take away When pouring rain begins again I step outside – look to the sky When pouring rain begins again, I step outside and close my eyes With head hung low arms by my side I lost the chance to say goodbye

Sunlight 05:02
Sunlight fading away Darkness takes over the day Will morning come for me again? Now here just me and my pain And no one hear could take it all if they wanted to Stay away from me Go now- leave me alone
12.
Never Fades 06:15
Standing in the light hoping it won’t fade Not sure it's alright, but I’ll take it Memories of lives of them what we’ll make Floating through the tides on and on we wade And those we want to see are only memories We try hard to hold on but one by one they're gone (Facing. Fading) The light that falls will never fade The memories we made will still remain A curtain call- a final play then meet again some day A different stage Standing in the dark daylight fades away Silent is the night and it's what I’ll take Memories alive but then what will stay Passing by our lives and then on to graves And those we want to see are only memories We try hard to hold on but one by one they're gone (Facing. Fading) The light that falls will never fade The memories we made will still remain A curtain call - a final play then meet again some day A different stage

The days may come get spun around When you’re not too sure how you’re standing You’re not so sure of what you’re standing on Don’t fear to reach for something old Or open up to something new Do your level best to keep your self as true When this all falls away… Behold the things that gold won't buy Beware of people that it can Balance out the taken with all that you send A simple life, no less alive Let complication fall aside Learn from things you'll shatter love the things you'll mend When this all falls away… So start to fly… again you’ll sing of pride and other bold beginnings Take hold of feathered wings and soar to higher heights Resonate your heart and sing Sing. Be heard across the skies and seas. Face up to new destiny. Be fierce in eyes but smile and all the world will see integrity Believe in your abilities Don’t grieve about sad memories And when I see you once again In a form we can’t remember You’ll know who I am and you’ll know who you are When this all falls away…

about

Life brings love. Love brings loss.
Loss can bring devastating sorrow.
Once processed and realized, nothing is the same.
The five stages of grief are not completed,
but rather absorbed into one's very being.
Things that once held great importance are now trivial.
Beauty that once went unnoticed is now cherished.
This is the new way.
This is the only way.
This is STAGE VI.
