Long Road Ahead

Travel America

Driving along an empty road
Wondering what lies ahead of me
Hoping there will be strength
And more to spare
To carry me to that place
Where I am meant to be

Field of Dreams

I’m fleeing, need to escape
Further and further away
Until I see in front of me
Three doors – A, B and C
I look left and right
And then proceed straight ahead
Very cautiously
To see beyond the Door of B
Trees of peace, so lush and green
Air so fresh, very real to me
My nightmare is passed and
I am surrounded by a
Glorious Field of Dreams

Motherhood

My heart is yours to share
Your burdens will I bear
I will love you for your life
And shield you from all strife

On Your Way

On your way to go and die
On your way to say goodbye
No more words are left to say
No more prayers are left to pray
You did wrong, and now you pay
There is no mercy in this day

Prayers and thoughts with Andrew Chan, Myuran Sukumaran and their families, who are currently being moved from their prison to face the firing squad.

Mother of two
And wife of one
Loved while she lived
And we loved her

Light After Dark

There is no hope in this world so dark
Guard the treasure in our hearts
For we pass through and then are gone
Create our testimony with the words we speak
And live for a country unseen
I have no hope in what I see
My hope is for eternity
I believe in light beyond the night

Evil

How do you sleep at night
When you take another life?
What do you dream about
When you cause another pain?
What do you think about
When you take the life of a mother’s son?
Do you feel, do you think, do you dream?
Do you read bedtime stories to your children
After you have raped
When you have shot and killed-
Do you go home and make love to your wife?

Where is the Light?

Body found in burning car
Locked in trunk
And set alight
Farmers butchered
Tortured, raped
Executions, heads cut off
And then I wonder
In this world so dark
Where is the light?

The following article relates to an incident in the vicinity of my high school

Destined To Die

When your life has no meaning
And your breath has no weight
When your soul is invisible
To those who hold the gun
When you are born to a world
Where love is overshadowed with
All the hate that can exist
Where there is no mercy
In the evil hearts of men
Then say your prayers and know that
You are destined to die

Thoughts with Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran who are scheduled to be transferred to their execution island tomorrow

Forever Farewell

a pretty girl blowing bubbles - vintage toned with a retro insta

I said goodbye to a friend of mine
So I could walk into my future alone and free
And I knew the goodbye would be forever
That never would I hear the voice of that soul
Again, but in my dreams a voice sounds out
To me, and when I awake, the voice so clear
Is of an old friend of mine, a friend I chose to
Forever farewell
