Heaven....
Wrote this many years ago....thought id share with u....
On the road to heaven
I saw a devil
lucifer was his name
On his back was shovel
Trackin’ through life
loads of strife
with a dagger in his hand
he asked for my life
I refused
Still confused
Asked for a cause
For I am bemused
Your time is over
U can run for cover
Wherever u hide
Death is sure to hover
What have I done?
Haven’t seen much fun
Why me so soon?
Am I the only one?
You are a waste
Death u shall taste
Don’t ask questions
blame your own fate
life is a lesson
you have lots to listen
but I don’t have time
u are awaited for the grand decision
but I cant come now, I have family and friends
many to make amends
those hearts I broke, those deeds I did
I have a lot to mend
All u want is more time
How many times should I remind
The clock has beaten you
You destiny has been redefined
Time....
As she opened her eyes to the world around her, she felt the birth of a new day in the first breath of fresh air that had penetrated deep into her lungs, heart, mind and soul. A rejuvenated spirit rose from within her, to give a new meaning to life as it has originally meant to her.
The faint rays of a morning sunrise reflected off the ceiling to dive into her eyes, making the new day a reality that, till this moment, had been the spirit of hope, vision and dream. She stood up, and headed towards the balcony.
When you wake up, and tomorrow is today, how does the fact make you feel that another day has gone by, another week will go by, so will the months and years in a fashion not different to your morning today. The moment you are reading this, will never truly be yours, or mine for that matter. And we will forever be a slave to time for all that is yet to come.

Today, in terms of work, was a defining day in my life.
There is just so much goin on right now........i think im getting slightly confused....(emphasis on the "i think" part here)!!
Now if you are thinkin about asking me whats going on, id ask you to hold on, sit back and relax for a while till i start makin soem sense of things, then maybe i can open up the whole yarn for you to lose youself into.
For the moment, just pray for me......thats all i need....
in case i dont get the chance to say this some other time....
i just want to say i wish you the vesry best in everything, for all times to come....
God is a DJ.....
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurt
It's a natural grace
Of watching young life shape
It's in minor keys
Solutions and remedies
Enemies becoming friends
When bitterness ends
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurt
It's in the world I become
Content in the hum
Between voice and drum
It's in change
The poetic justice of cause and effect
Respect, love, compassion
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurt
For tonight
God is a DJ
This is my church

Sunscreen...
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.
The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience…I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you imagine.
Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that scares you
Sing
Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss
Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.
Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t.
Get plenty of calcium.
Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.
Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. Enjoy your body, use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own..
Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.
Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.
Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it.
Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen…

Freedom...
Staring into the emptiness inside of me, I feel a reeling pain, sliding through my brain, cutting off what ever was left to see.
I am now a man of no vision, no bright lights around the city, no children playing, no birds chirping off my balcony.
Blinded by the darkness, deafened by silence, I can still see.
I see silhouettes of my memories, etched on a black slate, moving, constantly, to create a world of vision of its own uniqueness.
In the black scapes, stretching to eternity I see colours, the colours of dreams I once dared to achieve, the landscapes that were so real while I was a child. Today, they are no more. I played into the darkness in the green grass that lined my little house, my mother, calling from the inside when dinner was ready, while father, came running towards me, carried me in his arms, and took me inside.
The green landscape is my first love, I see it everyday, I feel it everyday. Days, months and years have passed away since I was last there, but they still are within me.
My home is my dream, not so unreal as it may seem, but remembering the fact that I cannot see anymore, is a story in its own self.
Today I can see. I see what I want to see, not what the world wants me to see. I am a person of free will. Though blind for many, but those who know what I feel, long for the beautiful dark black landscapes that I have reached.
Freedom...to be.
