Fallen Star
by Aysha Jones

Life as come to a stand still, feels like no one cares and no one knows
The pain and the hurt that, they have caused you.
Busy with their own lives who can you turn too.
The troubled feelings welling up inside you.
The loneliness is overwhelming, confusion and pain mix in with the joy.
How can you over come this, when you don’t even know your own mind.
We all need people to turn to, to explain these things to.
But when you feel alone everyone feel like an enemy.
We forget we all feel like this from time to time.
Some of us can find the strength to make it through each day.
Find ways to cope with everything life throws at us.
If only you had found a way to continue to make it through,
And if only we had know the struggles you faced along the way.
Perhaps a talent wouldn’t have been extinguished in the way that it has.
But in the darkness we all need a guiding light to show us the path,
For now there is no turning back, this road goes on and on.
We no-longer have your physical presence along side us.
Yet I know your still here guiding us all in our time of need.
You have been to the darkness and are now bathed in a brilliant light.
We take comfort knowing you no-longer feel the pain that drove you there.
May you continue to watch over and guide us in everything that we do.
For your light continues to shine here, as everything you have done is your legacy.
You are gone but you are not forgotten for your love is forever immortal
Tomorrow the sun will rise and we will receive the strength that it brings.
One day soon we will see you again, walking together in greener pastures
Till that time comes we will continue to put our stamps on this world,
And ensure your life was not in vain.

Jonathan Gregory Brandis

Paper
by Romi

I had hoped to capture everyone in this song; those who knew him, those who met him, those who live at home in close minded households, those who live alone with no one to share their thoughts with, those who have only seen his face in magazines and t.v, and so on. There is a bit of Gar and of thsoe who met/knew him in the last chorus.

Jonathan meant a lot to so many people, yet we are only a fraction of the rest of the misunderstanding world. Because he was a celebrity, we're not allowd to feel any connection to him. This song's purpose is to address that issue we all face; Knowing this is the only place we can come for support.

"Paper" ultimatly ends in defiance of those misunderstanding masses.

The Garden of My Dreams
by Mandy

I stand here in the garden of my dreams, alone and peacful.
A colorful variety of roses surrounding my feet,
Their perfumed scent filling my lungs with every breath.
I look up and reach my arms toward the sky,
as if to touch one of the cotten like clouds.
My arms drop to my sides and a single tear rolls down my face,
It lands on the peddle of a white rose.
As I open my eyes, I see your face,
You pick the rose and hand it to me.
With the rose between us another tear falls upon it,
this one is yours, turning the rose to red.
You smile at me and tell me not to cry
Your decision was not to hurt, but to stop the pain
You kiss my hand, then my cheek, then a light kiss on the lips.
You fade to smoke as the sun rises,
Another night we met again
Standing in the garden of my dreams.

-In loving memory of Jonathan G. Brandis- My first crush.

Where Has the Sun Gone?
by Mandy

The solar system centers the sun,
As our love centers you.
The sun rises and sets,
The days we have here seem so few.
The sun has gone dark,
There's a black orb in the sky.
Darkness swallows us,
And we ask why.
Where has the sun gone?
The world has no more light.
You were the sun,
And you could no longer fight.
The loneliness you must have felt,
The silence of your heart is deafening.
Your eyes held our hopes and dreams,
Without you the world seems so threatening.
The light has gone out, we can't see a thing,
We stumble in the dark and reach for your hand,
No one takes it to help us to our feet,
It's ok, you're fogiven, although we don't understand
Your love, forever in our hearts will reside
We'll miss you forever,
We're so sad that you died.
Rest In Peace Jonathan. You'll always be loved.
