Silhouettes of Glory

Rachel wrote this poem when she was just twelve years old .. Sometimes we just know ..


Silhouettes of Glory

Silhouettes of glory
In awe we watched on
Loving your story
of shining love
It's still there
It's still there
It's still there
and in one
Hold hands once again
Hold on, don't let go
Silhouettes of glory
sweet and serene
the same as you've seen
you'll see
Your life together hasn't even begun
Yet people keep crying
It's not fair
It's not fair
It's not fair
but it's done
I hear a silence in...
Silhouettes of glory
I don't know what you believe
But I'm praying you'll receive
Silhouettes of grace
Wipe the tears from your face
Yes, distance is hard and sorrow seems long
When you know all the lyrics
But you're blocked from your song
Memories of silhouettes live on
Your shining love's not gone
It's still there
It's still there
It's still there
and in one
It's still there
It's still there
It's still there
and in one just hold on
to silhouettes of grace

~ Rachel Wicks

It only takes a fraction in time
to change someone's life forever
Leaving their loved ones with the question
Why ?

forever young

Rock on you two .. remembering when we would be riding in the car .. singing this song .. ~ good times

Musician

Sweet song of peace
lead us where you are
Echos with no remorse
No suffering land
Blindfolding pain
no sight shall it gain
First touch
gloriously real
Oh how I could feel
your presence
filling all senses
Enlightened engagement
Remembrance of scent
Embracing first holding
Joyous morning
You brought us your life
Fulfilling my dream
While flowing in
the stream
We continue to
reunite

~ darnell

Crossing Dimensions

I jump the dimensions
with fire in hand
I land in formation
to proclaim I am
So free with glee
No tricking destiny
Giving freedom
wherever I land
Hold on for the ride
of your life
Not remembering my night
See the man with the
frog in his hand
He wears a head light

~ Rachel Wicks

See the man with
the frog in his hand
He wears a head light
Lion squinting in
the ominous night
Please let me borrow
your head light
Lambs screaming
stop the streaming
Give me your
headlight
Dolphins saying
it will be alright
Remind me to mention
all the contention
George is awaiting
astonishing flight
Bring me back to
the boardwalk
from where it began
Guitar and song
it echos along
forming delight
From here where
I come
to where I am from
Mayhem brings you
back to your land
Over looking dissension
can we please pretend
not to mention
Our walk with great
intention
Bringing me back
from where I am
Flee the morning with
your flash light in hand
Meta Physically speaking
You must come home
tonight
Not on the bench
Not in the bar
Not anywhere to far
Einstein is crunching
his numbers
Can't find the answer
amongst such the
essential
Just don't go to far

Never a Mistake

A foot or an arm
Maybe just a
come along
A step or a
hand shake
making a
quake
Who knows
But it could
never be a
mistake

~ Rachel Wicks



Humanity

Follow me
Follow me
Oh what will
it be
The road looks
rocky
Filled with
insanity
So I stop
for awhile
Creating a
smile
Capturing your
humanity

~ Rachel Wicks



The bliss of ignorance sustains me, like water to my thirst,
don't tell me, spring it on me. Let me jump and not look down,
it will effect the end result in seeing where you're going.
Be silent, let me live blinded, by utter unexpectedness. So I
may not plan, plot, scheme out a way to trick destiny, but
embrace it in delightful shock...

~ Rachel Wicks

wonderful memories

The silence that encases the room
of where our conversations once played.
Now echo's the faintest sound...
appears awkward and grave .
It was still wonderful...
Because I could hear the thoughts
that you made...

~ Rachel Wicks



Your soul is like a river
of all you wish to see
Your spirit an open chord
with all your strings set free

~ Rachel Wicks

Don't be in such a hurry

Never Goodbye

Moonrise
standing in
your stillness
Watching the madness
Emotions waiting for
atonement
They're looking in ..
Straightened hands
held out
Guiding voices evoking
Flooding memories
trying to enter
the inner court
with limited support
This flight of insanity
claiming the life
I once knew
Role changes
the protected becomes
the defender
She's watching
the final abide
encouraging
the stride
Smiling just
over the horizon
Never to say
goodbye

~ darnell

Beginning no End

Beginning no End

Waiting for the night to begin
Where are you my friends
So soft
So kind
Put your hand in mine
Swirl on the pearls
Shine with the times
This world we leave behind
Waiting for time to begin
Everyone thinks it's the end
Before the horizon ascend
Swirl on the pearls
Shine with the times
This world we leave behind
Soaring with the mourning
We'll be back again
Excuse me but a moment
Torments contending
No way to amend
Swirl on the pearls
Shine with the times
This world we leave behind
Cries of loss
with nowhere to toss
Just don't want you to cross
Exclamation so unreal
Swirl on the pearls
Shine with the times
This world we leave behind
Presenting the tone
measures of light
Let me take you home
this night
So soft
So kind
Put your hand in mine
Swirl on the pearls
Shine with the times
This world we leave behind

~ Rachel Wicks

Unfinished Kiss

Unfinished Kiss

The kiss that was never finished
In the dream that was unfulfilled
It was still wonderful
Because we're allowed to dream

The silence that encases the room
Of where our conversation once played
Now echoes the faintest sound
And appears, awkward and grave
It was still wonderful
Because I could hear the
Thoughts that you made

Those silly little polite conversations
Those chats and those talks
About nothing really valid
About who did what and where
Something about the weather and what
The man across the street is weaving
Those moments that I would do
Anything to dodge
Those are still wonderful

They offer little mental stimulation
So no real need to pay attention
Laying out the opportunity
To let you see how really beautiful
Someone is and how funny it is
People always have more to them
Than what they let on ...
Isn't it wonderful

~ Rachel Wicks



Come Home

I stood on the mountain with
my music vial in hand
Seeing you pass me to
the promise land
Can you fill my vial
once more
Not today my song writer
Not today
Just give me your hand
So we soared through
infinity
Where would we land
Not a mountain or valley
Just perfect sand

~ Rachel Wicks
