This book is for all the people who question the irony of

good and evil

and

for those who wish to see and believe

in the

presence and existence of life beyond.

If you never believed before,

you will now.

If you have the willingness to be,

and are willing to see,

then come and vision with me through poetry.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

If it weren’t for the depth and perceptions of mankind,
creativity and expression would be meaningless
and given talents would be wasted.

I would especially like to thank all the artists for their truly gifted
works of art and their very generous contributions.
For it is with their exceptional talent,
depth, perception and creativity,
that I am able to share with you,
further insight into life and what lies beyond.
I would like to dedicate this book to my two beautiful children
Alissa and Samantha Crumpler
who continue to inspire me every day!

Index
Adrift
It was in my room, late at night,
when I awoke, so cold with fright.
I reached to turn the light switch on,
I saw faint lights and heard whispered song.

There were glimmering lights, maybe three,
spirits I think, singing harmony.
The song had many questions why,
I heard in their voices, the sound of cries.

I listened and watched as they moved about,
hoping that soon they’d decide to get out.
I dropped to my knees, in disbelief
and prayed their despair, soon be released.

For it was then, I felt a sudden chill,
the voices once heard, now are still.
The lights that glimmered now are gone,
for the gathering of souls, have now moved on.

Beholden
Accept it as fate
or fight for the right?
Believing in dreams,
knowing hope is in sight.

No matter how hard
I try to forget
The facts still delude me,
a life with regrets.

If it wasn’t for air,
we never would breathe.
If it wasn’t for the heart,
love never would succeed.

To extinguish love
and its right to belong.
To break the heart of one
whose held love so strong.

I can’t help you discover
your innermost fears.
You’re inept to accept
and bring my love near.

Consider for a second
that I may be right.
And if given the chance,
love’s given life.
