Back to Peace

Last night, or I guess very early this morning, I was sorting through old journals and the different loose leaf inserts stuffed in them.  It was fun finding thoughts and ideas that haven't been developed just yet.  Oh if I had all the time in the world I would really enjoy spending my days writing and painting and dreaming and doodling and thinking and praying... 

Anywho, I also found an old poem/song thingy that I wrote back in October of 2006.  I thought I'd share it with you.  I hope you enjoy it.

BACK TO PEACE

It’s dark and the stars have to fight

to shine their light tonight

and the moon, it’s not in sight.

I’m chilled by a cool breeze

and it’s taking everything in me

not to fall to my knees.

It’s so hard to see when I have nothing to search for.

So hard to dream when I have nothing to reach for.

See my world is one day and one day only.

Until now I never knew being surrounded could be so lonely.

So please dull this pain and let me sleep.

Please bring me back, back to peace.

I can’t make sense of this

and the truth is, the truth is

I’m so pissed.

This is so real it must be fake.

It hurts just to be awake.

I may not fall apart, but I still break.

It’s so hard to move forward when I want the past.

Hard to move at all when I know my strength won’t last.

See my world is one day and one day only.

Until now I never knew being surrounded could be so lonely.

So please dull this pain and let me sleep.

Please bring me back, back to peace.

All I ask for is life, renew it.

Do whatever you have to, please do it.

Doesn’t matter if it’s risky, you can’t ruin it.

You can’t wreck what’s been broken

And you can’t take what’s been stolen.

It may be gone, but I’m still holding—holding on.

It’s so hard to whole when I’m missing a piece.

So hard to be full when I feel so damn empty.

See my world is one day and one day only.

Until now I never knew being surrounded could be so lonely.

So please dull this pain and let me sleep.

Please bring me back, back to peace.

Shift the dark to the side

and bring heaven to life.

Shine it’s light in my eyes.

Please bring me back…

Please bring me back…

Please bring me back, back to peace.
