Death and Rebirth

Hunt and Gather - Tom Bagshaw

Where did that person go

The person I used to be

Once so full of feeling

Am I just a product of society

Where did that person go

Is this empty shell really me

Can I find what I lost

Am I just a product of society

Somewhere beyond the rainbow

Lies forever

Somewhere beyond your knowledge
Is your soul
Someday you will find what it is

You're looking for

Someday you'll understand what it is
You need to know

The Sun is our Father
The Moon is our Mother
Love is our Sister
Love is our Brother

We all ask a question

We all have an answer

This is what the world is

This is what our life is

Somewhere beyond poverty 

Lies happiness
Somewhere beyond a cold surface
Is your heart

Someday you'll find in the darkness

A reason

Someday amidst the confusion

We'll find each other

Somewhere beyond the pain

Lies heaven

Somewhere beyond despair 

Lies hope

Someday soon a new beginning

Will greet you

Someday soon you'll remember

Who you really are

Author's notes: I want to dedicate this blog post to Deryck Whibley. Until May 16th, 2014 I had no idea who he was. That was when my spirit guides brought him to my attention. He might never see this but I felt important to let him know that new beginnings are a gift.

 
Dear Deryck,

You have been through such a difficult low in your life recently, but now it is time to restart your life as though you are a completely new and different person...start over...start fresh and start anew. Look at this experience as a gift and choose a new path that the Universe has presented to you. Get back on your horse and ride, my friend. Everything is going to be okay. Love and light to you and all who love you.
