Aric Beers Poems

I look back on where I had been
On all that was, both good and sin
I see who I was and how I've grown
Seeing seeds grow that I had sown
...

We live in this world with so many lights
Brightening and removing the nights
So many things catching our eyes
That we give up and give into the lies
...

Folding and cutting as I try to make
Things that won't die, wither, or break
Pressing and shaping as I try to create
Some grand and something great
...

He yell and scream but he's not heard
He cries out but they don't hear a word
He's out of their sight but not out of mind
Though any trace of him they'll never find
...

I said it was strange to feel this way
And indeed it really is
But not because my feelings changed
But because it's all ok
...

Bright blue beautiful skies
I welcome sight in my eyes
A calm clear winter's night
So peaceful it removes fright
...

How do I say that something's bugging me
When sadness is something they don't want to see
How do I say that I'm not alright
Without accidentally causing fright
...

He looks out through watchful eyes
Soaring through the brilliant skies
Spending his day in quiet thought
Looking for the peace he sought
...

Come on everyone, raise a cheer
Let it be heard far and near
Let the voices rise above
Speaking of our mothers’ love
...

Lord, come in now and heal this heart
Take hurt and health and make them part
You see where I am and you know what's going on
And you know what I've done and how they have gone
...
