How scary is life?
When you're faced with the end.
Confronted by demons
Devoid friends.
How scary is life?
When the dark angel comes to call,
Who will be there to catch,
Your loved ones when they fall?
How scary is life?
The life unlived.
Floating on uncertainty
Never one to forgive.
How scary is life?
The dreams unfulfilled
Put off for another day
Never to be rebuilt.
How scary is life?
As you watch your own end
Barreling down the darkness
Tumbling end over end.
How scary now is life?
Have you learned nothing at all?
Stand up.
Back Straight.
Now
Walk
Tall.
Stop being so afraid.
Live your life.
God has given you another chance
Don't let this one slip by.
Live life to the fullest
My father, my heart
Reach for your dreams
Don't ever stop.

Praise to be God for
The dapple-blue
The parallel universe and
His tender ways to
Show me - I am Eternal
Listen to me carefully
by Ashley Grant
Light as a feather
Stiff as a log,
Darkness swarms in on the unsuspecting form,
The pain this body feels is swiftly
What have thee world to offer,
when I already have eyes to see you.?
What seek thee, heart.?
The kiss that makes a still-lung
