Maybe, by Morning...
by C. Young

Maybe, by morning, you'll make it there
To the land of tender love and care

Be it Heaven in the sky
Calmed with a sense, can't be denied

Healing the wounds from years long past
Carved in the soul, so deep and vast

Within the Aora Love, I want to be
To soothe my heart and let me see

The truthful nature of it all
Never it fades, nor will it fall

Beyond, in time, love still will be
For all the age, eternally

Above the coldest world you gleam
Piercing the darkest times it seems

Like blissful sunshine warms the sea
That warms thy shivering soul with glee

I long for signs of better days
For shooting stars to be amazed

True stars on earth soon fade in time
The former world now dimly shines

Rize on free spirit, far from here
Safe to thine love that held thee near

To a place where tearful clouds wouldn't be
Where voices rize and sorrows flee

A place where fallen soldiers heal
Where starving children find a meal

Have lasting peace now, poorest soul
Forever young, never grow old

Nothing's erased your time on earth
The newness that once felt at birth

On through dark clouds, still rizing on
To greet the ever rizing sun

True glory be the angels' song
That bathes thy spirit all the long

Have no more tears, Have not a care
Maybe, by morning, you've made it there

Death of a Dream
by Kari

Breath of life forever silenced,
love of movement stilled.
What brought about this change?
Love to hate, life to suicide?
Did you have no one to hold you?
No one to love?

I wish I'd found you in time...
Love sleeps forever.

Take the Challenge
by Spike

Two years have past yet it still feels unreal
The pain no longer screams
The heart still missing
But on the horizon, hope and light marches forward
'causeing the darkness to shrivel
The Brandissian Army marches
Dispelling pain and hollowness

One Army speading light
One army bringing confort
Living in the wake of one unique soul

So come forth
Take the challange
To smile not cry
To feel warmth not cold
As HE comes into view
His voice to warm the cockles of all that you are

So take the challenge
Make the man Proud.

JGB here I stand!

Untitled
by Alisha

I remember Jonathan,
Those eyes so baby blue.
At the age of 14
I fell in love with you.

I hung your posters on my wall
I dreamed of seeing you one day
You are the kind of person
Who took my breath away.

Now that I have grown up
I hear that you are gone.
My life had so many ups and downs
I never could hold on.

I wish I could have met you,
You would have been a great friend
But someday I will see you
When my journey comes to an end.

Until then Dear Jonathan,
For your Family I pray
That God will guide them through this
Until they see you again that day.

Shimmering
by Corey Young

Look at the star that shoots and shines
It left a trail of tears behind
Tis' not falling, Tis' not dying!
It's carried by an angel, flying!
Must have been my old friend jon
No need to wonder where you've gone
Up high and through the drifting clouds
And into heaven wrapped in shrouds
Like the sunshine to the sea
May God warm your soul with glee
Your glazened eyes once told a story
I hope that time restores your glory
God keep you in his love and care
Forever, Always, you'll be there
