THE ISLANDS
The islands is friendly, I
know that is true
They welcome everyone -
from me and you.
The ocean is blue - the
sun is a star,
You can walk on the
beaches - you can
walk so far.
The islands have love -
and beauty is there
The people will say;
hello, because they
do all care.
The islands of paradise -
it's there for you to
see,
Once you are there -
you shall always be
free.
The islands are magic -
to the eyes, and more,
Just laze in the sun -
you'll soon know the
score.
Embrace the animals
as they will greet you -
They are God's creatures -
that is so true.
The islands of heaven,
can always be forgiven,
They embrace the...
MY BATTLE WITH MENTAL HEALTH
http://thegraymonksscriptorium.blogspot.com/search?q=darryl+ashton&m=1The mind plays tricks on me
And all I want is to be se free.
There must be a cure out there
to grasp and embrace
Before I make the choice to
leave the human race.
One day I am okay and thinking
what to do
Embracing happiness but there
is always a big queue.
I think all the time as my head
is list in war
A war of being "normal" but that
does see afar.
There are lots of other people
who suffer just like I do
And no one can see their suffering
it's hidden - that is very true.
You always are dreading each and
every day
You hate life so much it only brings
you dismay.
The cloud gathers round as it gr...

Obstacles
Clouds try to hide my shine;
Still, it can't prevent my glow...
Cause, I am Sun!
Still, clouds can't prevent my light;
It can just hide me for a while...
Cause, I am Moon!
Why should I stop my glow?
Just because of an obstacle...
I'll burn them into ashes;
Cause, I am human!

...THE MAGIC BOOK PAGES
The mind is like an open book - you
sometimes want to close
Page after page is telling a story -
but what of....no body knows.
The pages tell a story and your mind
can create some glory
And if you do get stuck - there's always
Jackanory!
The mind can be stimulated as the
eyes open wide with glee
And you can also make a story up -
and it's all for free.
The excitement is overwhelming as
you turn page by page
And can enjoy the whole book - no
matter what your age.
The pages can see a secret and they
know a troubled mind
You can even enjoy the pages - even
if you're blind.
You see the pages are also magic as
they can also talk to you
That is so special the magic is so true.

THE WATERFALL OF LIFE
(I dedicate my poem to all
true believers. May God truly
bless you. Amen.)
The waterfall of life,
shall quench the
thirst, which is rife,
For the thirst of the
mind does say;
"drink and thou shall
save a life?"
The water is pure -
and so sweet,
It tastes so good -
it really is neat.
The father, our God,
has blessed the water -
Just for us - as we
now drink, as we
oughta!
In desperation, the
body does wander,
But forsaking the lord,
is only in slumber?
We all need guidance -
and a shoulder for
support,
That shoulder, I feel,
is the support, I do
sought?
To cleanse the soul,
is all I wish,
Then take a taste, of
that glorious dish!
The dish of food -

A BRIGHTER TOMORROW
The poor get poorer
that's a fact
The rich get richer
they never use any
tact.
The homeless are
begging - but some
are only fake
They sit outside the
shops - and are
always on the take.
The Government has
tried to help us
But some people do
cause a lot of fuss.
They stay at home
working hard on the
phone -
As the slowly turn
into a clone!
Life will never be
the same again - but
to carry on we do
Covid-19 has changed
our lives - that is very
true.
When we wear the
masks - it hides a
sinister look
Then we walk in to a
shop or a bank - and
looking like a crook!
Is there light at the
end of this dismal
...THE MAGICAL HEAVENLY STARS
The magic of the stars
is magic to the eyes
I can see them all day
and night - what a
surprise.
The stars gather round
on proud display,
And to see this magical
sight we do not need to
pay.
The darkest of the night
is a blessing for all to
see,
You just look on up at
the sky - believe me - it
is free.
The sky is inviting me
to go and have a tour
To see the wondrous
stars on parade - they
ooze lots of amour.
God has made a special
home somewhere in
the sky
I would dearly love to
see it - of this I cannot
deny.
Even the angels are
flying and flirting with
the stars,
As they are now angelic

TO ESCAPE MENTAL ILLNESS
You can run and hide
and admire the calm
sea tide
You can have a friend
by your side
But you cannot get
away
For mental illness is
out to cause you mass
dismay.
You feel so worthless
as you lose interest
to live
So you now go on a
mission - your enemies
you forgive.
You feel low and isolated
and you wish to end
your life
Because mental illness
is causing you so much
strife.
There is no hope as
you just want to be set
free
So you plan your exit
as soon as you've had
your tea.
Your feelings are at
rock bottom - you only
want to get away
You care nothing of
your friends and family -
