"Silent Lucidity"

Hush now don't you cry
Wipe away that teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream spinning in your head.
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance. Wide awake you face the day.
Your dream is over...or has it just begun?
There's a place I like to hide. A doorway that I run through in the night.
Relax child...you were there, but only didn't realize it and you were scared.
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world suddenly you hear and see this magic new dimension.

I-will be watching over you
I-am gonna help you see it through
I-will protect you in the night
I-am smiling next to you...in silent lucidity.

If you open your mind to me
You won't rely on open eyes to see.
The walls you build within
Come tumbling down and a new world will begin.
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly.
A round trip journey in your head.
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but...

I-will be watching over you
I-am going to help you see it through
I-will protect you in the night
I-am smiling next to you...in silent lucidity.

Farewell my friend

Farewell my bestest and most faithful friend. I will love you and miss you forever. Give Boby a big sloppy BooBoo kiss for us. We will meet again my loving friend...on the other side.

Sable aka Mable aka BooBoo - euthenized 6/5/09 due to bone cancer. She was diagnosed 2 years ago, and given 2 months to live. She was the greatest trooper I've ever known. I just couldn't be selfish anymore by not wanting to let her go. I looked into her eyes, and she told me it was time. So very seldom do we find a friend that is so dedicated, and that loves us so unconditionally. We camped together, we swam together. We traveled the country together. She sat in the passenger seat just like a human. I remember so many times people pulling up next to us laughing, as they must have thought that she was a person. She didn't even mind the seat belt...just as long as she could go bye-bye with me. She will be SO missed. My house feels so empty right now...but she is no longer in pain, and in that I find comfort...well, comfort isn't really what I'm feeling this second, this minute, this day, but I know that one day I will.
