Freedom
Sometimes at night and all alone
I travel to the twilight-zone,
a journey into empty space,
devoid of time or human race.
A feeling I have more or less
dissolved in spacial nothingness,
the spirit free and unimpeded,
the body has been superseded.
A state of total exultation,
and never-ending jubilation.
Oh, how I'd like to shed my garb,
the body being just a barb
that caught the spirit by surprise
until released by its demise.
When morning comes with early dawn
my journey ends, I feel forlorn,
there is a taste that's bitter sweet
when body and the spirit meet.
My life goes on, there's no lament,
the school of life until the end,
that final day, when all alone
I travel to the twilight-zone.
December 1996
Loneliness
My heart is full of loneliness
but the world does not know,
I always wear a happy smile,
I'm always on the go.
But when I wake up in the night
my soul cries out for peace,
it is a never ending fight,
can someone help me please?
This cancerous beast devours me,
it dominates my life,
how can I put an end to this,
the sorrow and the strife?
I pray that when the sun breaks through
and heralds a new day,
that Jesus comes and heals my soul
and takes the pain away.
