Song of Earth

A single drop of dew slowly

Slips on a sappling, bloomed anew

The tranquil lake, the mountain view

Sets a new rhythm in my heart

How? I've not a clue

The dandelions diffuse in the wind

The fish emerge and retreat within the warm spring

My mind is serene, not to worry about a thing

Forget all virtues and forgive all sin

For in this moment, near the waterfall

Time stands still

Oh Mother Earth I am your kin

I arose from your soil baked in the sun's kiln

When my time ends, my body will rot

My flesh will decompose within the course crust

My soul shall waft in the breeze, my heart embedded in dust

This time will come as swiftly as

A single drop of dew slowly

Slips on a sappling bloomed anew

Humanity's Greatest Victory

Is it wrong to like and love

Wrong to fight and feel numb

Is it wrong that I want to pack and run

Fly to otherwordly places far far above

To destroy everything I own

And wallow in my own sorrow

I know its not right to feel this way

But I try to be a better person every other day

I don't know what tomorrow will bring

Come rain or shine I will win

This strenous battle against my own mind

And what a giant leap it will be for mankind

I Promise

I can feel my brain

Starting to fall apart

Like the leaves on dry trees

During the beginning of crisp fall

Why can't I feel and move on

Why can't I live and let go

Of the past that haunts me

And the future so daunting

How does thy exist without regret

Without sorrow and emotional debt?

Is this destiny or am I too late

To change the trajectory of my own fate?

The spiral just gets deeper and deeper

More twists and turns

The anxiety makes me weaker

It hurts more than third degree burns

I ponder on while I lie on this dyre folde

A question arises, age old

"To be or not to be that is the question"

But I will at least try to be, that is my confession

Who art thou to cause such damage

To my heart and mind - Such solace

Can not be found here, to be honest

But I will be alright, I promise

We will all be alright, I promise

Fool's Anthem

The breeze blows over the hills, the daffodils dance in the wind

The very last drop of my patience and will

To endure in this world with hatred and guilt

Threatens to fall

Threatens to vanish

I bite my tongue as life goes on

Because one day, I know

I will find my peace

I will find my soul

And re ignite it as whole
