I live at the edge of the world,
In a country that is still not old in the eyes of man,
Here is where ghosts like to rest,
Everywhere you turn, 
Everywhere you look,
You see nothing but the ghosts that haunt my home.

These ghosts are angry and sad,
They have tainted the land with their presence,
At night you can hear them crying, screaming for justice,
In their dull, gloomy eyes their way is the only way; that...

"I have to let you go," I say on the verge of tears." I have to let go of you because you are dragging me down, and I do not want to be stuck in a pit for the rest of my life.

" Let me go? Are you serious? I have been your best friend since before we could talk" He said confused.

"Yes I'm serious, I have trusted you with my life but now that trust is broken....

I fear many things;
Not being able to breathe,
Watching others get old,
Sky diving,
Drowning,
The world's impending doom,
Uncertainty, 
Love,
Small spaces,
My own anger,
Losing loved ones,
Leaving earth before I have time to live,
Being alone,
And not being good enough.

Yet here I am, still breathing, still laughing. Looking my fears in the eye (except sky diving, never doing that)  I deal with it, yes it scares me it actually terrifies me.

"Heaven's Purgatory."

A place where at sunset or sunrise, it is as if God has given the place a kiss good morning or goodnight.
High above the rest, you look down to a strong flowing river, surrounded by pines, poplar, manuka and kanuka trees.
You can hear the birds playing, swooping down and around, teasing the others.
After the sun has set, it turns dark, too dark for most to bear.
The valley is suddenly shrouded in dark, eerie noises...
