Into the sanctuary
Standing face to face
Floating clouds of wisdom
Forming a loved ones face

Gentle waves caress the sea
Cleansing someones heart
Across the gates heaven
A life begins to start

The sun peaks through the clouds
And shines on over me
Echoes of silence
Translating insanity

A crumbled piece of paper
Like walls painted white
Beauty unseen within
Dims the shining light

I'm living my life, day by day
And thats all that I can do
I'm living my life, day by day
I'm living it for you

Trickling raindrops
Sit upon my brow
Trying to find you
But I'm not sure how

With only one life to live
Sadness fills my head
An eternity of sorrow
Is starting once again

Better to die, and sleep
The never-waking sleep, than linger on
And dare to live when the souls life is gone.

Great write, Trevor.  All we can do is live life one day at a time and do the best we can.  That's all anyone can ask of us.  

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
