44. The Sky

At times when I think nothing is right,

And I feel that I am losing this fight.

When people are really cruel and vile,

One can get to feel dreadfully futile.

That is when you need the wide sky,

A vision of happy to see with your eye.

Each sky is different than ever before,

Up where the clouds and birds ever soar.

Looking at sunbeams through the white clouds,

Wastes away all of your life’s sad shrouds.

In raising your attentions heaven-bound.

It gives you a chance to lose earth ground.

You no longer are a tormented soul,

But ‘God’ has you and you feel whole.

Just for a little while you are at peace,

Until you return back to the pit without cease.

35. The Past Forever

Here we are on this new morn,

We wish knowledge may be born;

To the past forever on its’ way,

To find the night and lose the day.

We want to change some things,

A choice can’t take back what it brings.

For the past is forever on its’ way,

To find the night and lose the day.

But alas with each new suns’ ray,

We are given a recreated day,

To make the best of in every way.

22. Unconditional Love

All I’ve ever wanted. All I’ve wished that could be,

Is that someone love me unconditionally.

Somebody who knows me, knows the inside and out,

And still loves me without any doubt.

Questions tear at my heart, asking when, who, and how?

Why can’t love find me here and now?

Will love ever come by, to a soul such as me,

Who has been deprived so blatantly?

The past holds nothings; nones.

Future’s my sun and my breath.

Dear ‘God’, please deliver some love before death!

I’m so sick of goodbyes,

Of the fading faces,

Of the tragedies of all the cases.

Of all the things to want, of all the things to need,

Love is wanted the most indeed!

All I’ve ever wanted. All I’ve wished that could be,

Is that someone love me unconditionally.

7. Point of Decision

There comes a point when you must change, everything, and roam a new range.

Your old ways no longer will do. Absolutely, a new path is set for you.

You realize now, what you had done, incorrectly, and finally walk into the sun.

There comes a point in your life, believe me, you will need to lose that strife.

You must learn, do what works, unquestionably; and toss the old that lurks.

Move on now to a better day, unmistakably; a new one in every way.
