"STAY COMPASSED"

This was one of Ian's sayings when he was little. He had it right. Pay attention and soak in all that is around you. Be present in the moment.

The dazzling streaks of rainbow

glitter in the night

as darkness swallows up the brightness

and shutters over like

a blanket above the

sleeping world.

~Ian Niesel

(Elementary School)

"They are a beautiful living

piece of artwork."

~ 9 year old Ian

(describing Flickers on our plum tree)

"Life moves in waves, sometimes all you need to do is figure out how to surf them."

~ Mariana Henke

This quote was shared by one of Ian's high school teachers, affectionally called "Lizard" by her students.

Away

~ JN

Pulling me under now

Safe and warm

Pulling me under now

Down deep, wrap me in your arms

Pulling me under now

Show me the way to go

Pulling me under now

Down deep, feel the undertow

Down. Deep. Down into the deep

…Away

Pulling me under now

Let it take control

Pulling me under now

Down deep, reinforce my soul

Pulling me under now

Show me the way to go

Pulling me under now

Down deep, with the undertow

Down. Deep. Down into the deep

…Away

Pulling me under now

Here I will stay

Pulling me under now

Down deep, current leads the way

Pulling me under now

I am made whole

Pulling me under now

Down deep, I'm the undertow

Down. Deep. Down into the deep

…Away

Pulling me under now

Safe and warm

Pulling me under now

Down deep, feel the undertow

Down deep, with the undertow

Down. Deep. I’m the undertow

Away

When I Go

When I go

don't learn to live without me

just learn to live with my love

in a different way.

And if you need to see me

close your eyes

or look in your shadow

when the sun shines

I'm there.

Sit with me in the quiet

and you will know

that I did not leave.

There is no leaving

when one soul is blended

with another.

When I go

don't learn to live without me

just learn to look for me

in the moments.

I will be there.

~ Donna Ashworth

If You're Wondering Where to Find Me

If you're wondering where to find me,

I'll tell you where I'll be,

I'm in that in-between bit,

that space where sky meets sea.

In the whispers of the trees

and the edges of your dreams,

Close enough to almost touch

but slightly out of reach.

I'm in the moon and in the stars

but never really far,

and always, always I'm there,

Inside your heart.

~ Catherine Prutton

Until Then

Every bird soaring on the thermals above

Every star sparkling in the night sky

Every creature big and small here on Earth

Every Everything

Phoenix to Heaven

Endings become beginnings

Death becomes life

You became an angel

Constellations

We can take a walk under the night sky

Look up at the Milky Way

Fingers tracing the constellations together

once again

~jbw

Upside Down Heart

cloud messages

swimming laps...one, two, twenty...

talking with you

asking you questions

looking for answers in the clouds

floating, looking up

searching the clouds

letters, pictures, angels

your smile

turn

and our hearts, upside down

~jbw

Run To You

~Pentatonix

A light in the room

It was you who was standing there

Tried it was true

As your glance met my stare

But your heart drifted off

Like the land split by sea

I tried to go, to follow

To kneel down at your feet

I'll run, I'll run

I'll run run to you

I'll run, I'll run

I'll run run to you

I've been settling scores

I've been fighting so long

But I've lost your war

And our kingdom is gone

How shall I win back

Your heart which was mine

I have broken bones and

tattered clothes

I've run out of time

I'll run, I'll run

I'll run run to you

I'll run, I'll run

I'll run run to yon

I will break down the gates

of heaven

A thousand angels stand

waiting for me

Take my heart

And I'll lay down my weapons

Break my shackles to set me

free

I'll run, I'll run

I'll run run to you

I'll run, I'll run

I'll run run to you

What Is (The Meaning Of It All)
