It made me wonder...

what happens when the evil dies
the darkness found beyond your eyes
that thing that keeps you watching
does life turn into nothing
when you become obsessed to find
what lurks both in and out of time
what one must truly feel
to know that it is real
that thing that casts a shadow wide
enough that it can surely hide
from all who tries to see
do you then cease to be...
or are your fears set free.

If

if only...
I could touch the stars
to take each one into my arms
I'd drown inside their glow
I love them don't you know

if only
I could reach the moon
beyond the strength of earthy pull
to glide from tip to tip
upon the moon I'd skip

if only
I could touch the sky
each cloud no more than inches by
I'd drift off in the blue
and bid sweet Earth adieu

if only
I could bravely scale
each mountain side and never fail
I'd stand upon each summit
just proud that I had done it

if only
I could sail the seas
from shore to shore with stroke of ease
each wave another guide
upon its strength I'd glide

if only
I could know this Earth
before its wonder knows my girth
then if would simply be...
the cast that makes the key
that sets this spirit free.

Age

Somewhere inside a young girl hides
not quite a sweet sixteen,
full of life, of hopes, of dreams.
Ready to take on the world,
a stubborn, feisty, naive girl.
Thirsty for adventure,
refusing to surrender.
As time goes by she finds more rage,
while I sit back and slowly age.
Sweet girl much you don't know
but I wont let you go.
You are the blue within my fire,
your spark, no question I desire.
The vibrance of your light,
gives me the strength to fight
and though your road I do not envy,
you fill this aging heart a plenty.
Sweet girl that I adore
so spread thy wings and soar...
oh youth within my core.

Incomparable...

There is no sound as beautiful
as the voice of encouragement
no touch as gentle
as the hand of support
no thought as charitable
as an act of selflessness
no gift so precious
as the blessing of a child...
and no blessing as great
as Gods undying love.

Lost...

Another day wasted
another day lost
a price to be paid at dearest cost
dreams unfulfilled
hopes gone away
another chance not taken
is all I can say

Another path ventured
a future unknown
a heart whispers softly
beyond flesh and bone

One breath slowly taken
two eyes open wide
as minutes turn to hours
more wishes set aside

if not for the challenge
if not for the pain
if not for the doubts
that come with the rain
if not for the reasons
that find their way through
to poison the magic of all one could do

another day wasted
another day lost...
tis only on the final chime
will life reveal the cost.

just a thought

If by failure I gain knowledge
then by failure I succeed
