| The sky is deep, the sky is dark. The light of stars is so damn stark. When I look up, I fill with fear, If all we have is what lies here, This lonely world, this troubled space, the cold dead stars, the empty space... ... Well, I see no reason to persevere, No reason to laugh or shed a tear, no reason to sleep or ever to wake, no promises to keep or ever to make. And so at night I still raise my eyes to study the clear but mysterious skies that arch above us, as cold as stone. Are you there God? Am I alone? ~ The Book of Counted Sorrows |

| Silent Plea Melissa Johnson Held captive In my own mind; The inner peace I cannot find. Loneliness surrounds The empty heart; Alone, afraid, From the world set apart. Destined nowhere The path I must take; To travel alone Each day I awake. Desperately crying Each pain-filled tear; This silent plea No one will hear. |
