Holding On, Holding Close

Holding on, holding close 
all that I love and cherish
through
the darkest time.

Let us not be separated
or
hurt in anyway 
any kind.

This I ask
I pray
to
the wondrous, great Divine.

Holding Out, Holding Close

Holding out, holding close 
Thoughts of yesteryear

Knowing they arrived
Played out
And
Now have disappeared.

Reasons why, reasons known
I can’t decipher
I can’t cry out

All I know
they happened
They’re with me now 

Till I leave this earth, till I too 
Am no longer here.

Holding Close, Holding Tight

Holding close, holding tight 
making it thru 
thru the dark, scary night

Tomorrow will be better
tomorrow I’ll see the light
leading to pleasure, happiness
and
all things of delight.

Courting Life, Fleeing Death

Courting life, fleeing death
Time passes
Taking no regard for
The rest.

Holding close, pushing aside
All things
I love, despise.

In tomorrow
The world may change
Leaving everything
Just the same.

Holding On, Holding Close

Holding on, holding close
All that I love
All that means the most
To me
Throughout.

All that is dear
No more will I let go
To lose, to discard
Oh no!

Hold on, hold close
Today, tonight
Throughout all this
My life.

Holding Close

Holding close
being in the beauty of it
all.

Losing nothing, saying less
cause we are part of the picture
overall.

A Million Miles Away

A million miles away
The sun shines
No matter
The time of day.

My heart must bring
That sun from far
To my day, my walk
My way.

Holding close all
That’s good
All I need to make
It thru today.

From a million miles away
The sun shines
Shines on me
As I’m on my way.

Memories Last

Memories last
to give us space to remember
those gone from this place.

Holding close, holding long
remembering all the snuggles, caresses
Thru the night so long.

Heartache cries missing those loved
now my heart’s alone
a empty place.

I can’t, won’t forget
your loving soul’s a memory
all that I have left.

❤️ Rest in peace sweet Jake ❤️

Searching For Something New

Searching for something new
Searching amongst
The breathe of that
That I once knew.

Grasping, holding close
Memories I loved
See them fall away
Replacing now all that yesterday.

Searching for
New memories untold
Searching for a new life
A new mould.

Searching, searching
But no one knows
Nor will they let it be
As of yet, let it be told.

Heaven Helped

Heaven helped, heaven loved
Nothing lost for that is love.

Holding close, holding tight
Living in it’s radiance tonight.
