So....   There have been some rather touchy conversations this week.  There have also been some life lessons that have either been brought to the fore, if they will be recognised and there have been some lessons that have been learned.  I was sitting here the other day and doing the ususal,  looking for wisdom in a rather unconscious way ( playing a game, drinking coffee, listening to something on youtube, waking up to start the day).  When I came across a song and thought "What a GREAT Windbringer post this will make!"  Only to realize....  It's in the last post.  Then sitting here this morning ( doing the same thing as the other day)  I find several that are even better.  After all, it's that time of year.  a lot of us just get lost and fearful, or just don't know how to cope with what our subconscious is throwing up.  Sit back and know....

YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Left Behind

[September 2001]

So afraid to open your eyes
You know too well that which awaits you
Something undefined there in the halflight
The demon without
The demon inside to plague and torment you
Feeling so sure, feeling so uncertain that something is wrong
Everyone's gone and you have been left behind
Everyone left the demon inside

Do you still hear their laughter
So hard to describe
You never forget the faces that haunt you
Awake or asleep, I know you can't tell
Unable to sleep
Unable to fight
Unwilling to wake to open your eyes
to face your oppressor
Still you go on convinced it will end

Can you remember
a day when it was not, not like this?
Unsure of yourself, unsure of your thoughts
Unable to know if what you think is right or wrong
Still you go on convinced it will end
Like someone pushes a blade through your mind
There on the edge where no-one will find you
Still hearing them laugh
Is there no light at the end for you

Why is everything wrong?

Here I am
Here I am with these words
Trying to say something I can't
Something I can't tell you

Nothing is wrong
The demons they have left you
You were not left behind
You were not left behind
So open your eyes
So open your eyes

Unable to sleep
Unable to fight
Unwilling to wake
Please open your eyes
For here I stand
unable to tell you what I am trying to say

Nothing is wrong
Please open your eyes
Nothing is wrong
You were not left behind

CARRY YOU

[January 2007]

Conceal your deepest worries
Confine your thoughts inside the walls you built of damaged pride
The light in your eyes failing
like you're adrift, like night pretending to be day
These storms subside

Though the past, the unwanted memories, are holding onto you
All the power in the universe conspires to carry you
Truths you find through your adversities will defend you
as your powers and all your energies conspire to carry you
The adversary to your soul,
the blackest thoughts that try to poison you
These storms subside

Lay down your greatest burden
Relinquish that which has control of you and let yourself through
Though it seems, the past and future look the same
suffice to say, you're still here

FARTHEST STAR

[December 2006]

The will to greatness clouds the mind
consumes the senses, veils the signs
we each are meant to recognise
Redeeming graces cast aside
Enduring notions, newfound promise
that the end will never come

We live in times when all seems lost
But time will come when we'll look back
upon ourselves and on our failings
Embrace the void even closer still
Erase your doubts,
as you surrender everything

We possess the power
if this should start to fall apart,
to mend divides, to change the world
to reach the farthest star
If we should stay silent
if fear should win our hearts,
our light will have long diminished
before it reaches the farthest star

Wide awake in a world that sleeps
Enduring thoughts, enduring scenes
the knowledge of what is yet to come
From a time when all seems lost
From a dead man to a world
without restraint unafraid and free

If we fall and break
all the tears in the world
cannot make us whole again
