Good-Bye

Good-Bye

Walking only to run

talking only to scream

trying to sing out my melody

I squeak out an empty tune

laughing empty laughs 

to empty jokes

crying not fake but real tears

of a truly real sorrow

wandering from

place to place

only to be shut out by the old

and misunderstood

by the new

closing my book of secrets

before any can catch a word

I say good bye

to something in the past

something in the future

and the confused,

frustrated present me.

Support We Gave

Support We Gave

Traveling on the wings of invisibility

To a place that

Only now exists in a long ago

Distant Memory

I see your face

And

I see your pain

And

I ache to help

But I know I can’t

So I dance around

To dance

With my fellow angels

Giving our support

As you bled

For our mistakes

Standing by we could not help

Bear the burdens

You had to bear

For us all

So dancing around

In the bright moonlight

We hold our ground

Lending our support

Encouraging you and latter

When you were taken, and tortured

When friends abandon you

We flew overhead

Whispering

“were here”

As you hung between thieves

We carried your spirit away

And helped guide you on

Your way.

You paid the price for our

Past and future mistakes

And we were unable to help

Bare the burden

So support was all we

Could offer to our dear

Brother

Jesus Christ. . .
