The Silence

I stand in the darkness

Looking backward

forcing the silence to Listen

One voice, the only sound

Untold no longer 

Said yet not heard

The silence, repairs 

moves forward, 

as never broken

I stand in the darkness 

Facing the distant

Repairing in silence.

Journey Moves Along

The insanity is real I can feel it creeping in

Thoughts appear, reality blurs

The lines begin to dissolve.

Voices in our head, want us to make a choice

We can power through it

We can quell the noise.

The past is behind us the future to be seen

Never look beyond your fears

Always strive to reach your dreams.

In the dream find safety, a road to travel on

A place you want to get to,

As the journey moves along.

Greif

Once you are done grieving
and some time has passed
Let it slowly soothe you
all these memories last

BjM 8-7-15

We see you there

See the ones behind the scenes,

Who let the others shine.

Those who say so humbly,

That it’s only time.

All the hours, spent preparing

Giving all your thoughts.

Allows for play without caring

All haves, No have nots.

All your time spent caring

And sharing all you have

Was like you were daring us

To be our very best.

You made a mark, within our hearts

That  Thank- you can’t repair

For we’re eternally connected

To the Greatest Volunteer.

Seven Twenty

Friends I’ve gained

Or friends I’ve lost

The lessons shall remain

Feelings rise

Emotions subside

Memories engrained

Comes and goes

Ebbs and flows

Life, you shouldn’t refrain.

Gemini

We take these trips around the sun.

Gathering info, having fun.

Shooting straight, crossing paths.

Finding love, having wrath.

Drop the things we no longer need,

Leave some room for our brains to feed.

Life is simple, set some trends.

Just learn some things, and make some friends.

2014

A holiday to start off right.
6 days only, but in paradise.
A little lacrosse, to stay on point.
And Cirque de P!NK
She rocked that joint!
The war on the floor,
Went right to the end.
A wonderful time, spent
Dri... Hanging with friends!
Then came spring training.
Two a days, running routes.
The revival of choir, and
naming new recruits.
The games begin, our records great.
Our team had lead the race.
Through Edmonton to Hamilton
 We then rocked TD Place.
From grandpa's floor, to section S.
This has always been the plan.
The schedule gods laid it out,
The feelings over ran.
Confetti rained...
Tears drained, it all seemed sureal.
Then there was the locker room,
So much love I feel.
Of the 6 I've lived through
this one tops the rest.
Treasure all the memories
But 2014 is the best!
Not much happened since then.
That day can't be topped
Learned through this reflection
My life effin Rocks ;)

September 15, 1975

 I did not hear the ring
 Upon the fence I climbed
 I saw my father leave
I heard the ambulance chimes

Without a spoken word
I could feel the fear
The world about to change
This was very clear

I heard my mothers voice
The facts she did unwind
Death had taken grandpa
Upon the fence I climbed

1 year

A year has come
A year has gone
Many things have changed

Some have stayed
Some moved on
To me its still just strange

Life is Short
Time moves fast
Carefully plant some seeds

We'll pick 'em up
We'll carry on 
To us your memory feeds

Relax

Sometimes we need to take a break
Sometimes we should relax
But most times when one toils with love
The breaks create themselves.

Today

Today we could have be celebrating.
Today could have been grande.
Today I grieve your memory.
Today I consider my stand.

Today I understand you.
Today I get the drift.
Today I yearn to talk to you
Today I could use a lift.

Today I miss my buddy
Today I know the trend.
Today I mark your birth date
Today I mourn my friend

Carry on

If I could, I'd put it all down - for others to see 
But what would be left - of the secrets of me
The story unfolds - deep in the well
Carry on, walk by - there is nothing to tell

Look, but don't touch - take it in with your eyes
Paint your own picture - tell your own lies
Many a good tale - does not pass the test
Often the truth - is left just to rest

She 's not talking - but has plenty to say
Often second guessing - the decision to stay
Stand firm, don't waiver - feet planted on ground
Rise up, hold on - To the truth you are bound.
