In a Time of Passing

In a time of passing
When emotions are excited
And the thought of a loss
Have all parties thinking of love

Death

Death is something
We are never ready for
Some look for an escape
Using death as the door
You know suicide
Is not the way
You never considered
The people who pay
The close and dear
The friends who are true
Who fret and cry
And never forget you

Casey

When I look in your eyes,
I know not what I see.
Wondering what you're really like,
Wondering if you'll walk with me.
Your beautiful hair,
Your wonderful smile,
Would you mind
If I stare a while?
Your dancing eyes
A beautiful blue;
What are you truly like?
I wish I knew.
Your golden blonde hair
so smooth and nice,
I'll say the wrong thing,
Then I'll pay the price.
I look at my life;
It's all a collage.
Are you real,
or just a mirage?
Don't know what I'd do
If you were mine.
If I were yours
Our souls could combine.

But Why?

April 12th
a day we will not soon forget.
We have all been victimized
by today's tragedy.
As the rain drops on the fields
so do the tears in the halls.
For a young man
who is struggling to survive.
In this town
"everything is perfect."
But if all was perfect
how could this happen?
How could five students
come into our school
with knives and bats
and not be stopped?
A young man, a child
was severely wounded,
stabbed in the stomach.
But why?
An hour and a half has past
and we still hear the screams
friends are just learning what happened
on the day we will not soon forget.

Beautiful Day

I gaze out the window
'tis a beautiful day
The sunshines on
In a wonderful way
I continue to stare
Off in a daze
Can't stop thinking about
All the past days
Both good and bad
Short and long
The clock strikes 12
The bells go dong
Although this day
Has been top notch
It'll only get better
Just you watch
Ever have a day
When all is right
You move through the day
Without a fight

Reflection

Certain parts of life
Become blurred,
Just as ones own reflection
In rippled water.

In the Eyes of Those Who Cannot See

In the eyes of those
who cannot see,
everything around
might seem the same.
But for those who refuse
to open their eyes,
they lose so much of life
and the world remains dark.
For those who are brave hearted,
and dream to look around,
there is still so much to see
in the forgotten world.
The love and the pain
of life every day.
The sights are blessings
both good and bad,
for those who are brave
with open eyes.
