I dreamt of a man who had all money could buy
A beautiful wife Kids without strife An enviable life But alone in the dark his soul out did cry It cried out for those things beyond money alone It cried out for dreams It cried for divine teams Is this world all that it seems? Toward tears such as these are so many men prone What is to be done when there are responsibilities to be had Cant just up and quit Nor from home split With dreams of a better fit The hardest to leave is the progeny of one's lass and lad And so many find themselves in dilemma's like this Soul searching is easy With no home nor family No responsibilty Hence the tear bestween desire and past choice which leads to crisis Providing for one's family in the things they want Tis no easy task For help some must ask Or they put on a false mask And turn their backs on dreams that for their life shall always taunt These dreams come back in force that is full Given some time The roots grow deep, and fine To break later is no crime Even if for 30 years, one must take care of business in lull So for those who have dreams of something someday Have patience Listen to your voice of conscience It provides luminessence This path will in the end pay We all get what we want If our posture is staunt Our small successes we dont flaunt Just keep your head down Work and toil without reknown Ley your work stack high from the ground If expectations are low And your final success you know The world will read what you sow

I call myself a warrior
I battle for the light Yet there is no sword in hand Intergrity, honor, and bravery I fight for what is right To protect my fellow men I carry forth the torch To corners dark and mean And gently light the way Some who live in darkness Their eyes it may scorch Tis a price they must pay For when you battle warriors Who represent the light A great power watches over them For when blessed by truth It radiates strength and might And they have no fear of the end The problem with this is that none can know all and people get confused They fight for unjust causes and think they serve the light but by darkness they are used A first clue to what is dark is violence done without remorse for this is only as a last resort to be used Violence is the last and worst spell to cast for blood can bring on a generational deep feud Another trick is faith that requires one to blind their senses gifted by all With some much wonder here, to turn a deaf, dumb ear is not the divine call One think I know, God wants us to look and know, to experience beauty every day We humans can resolve and differences absolve, if only we stop and say I am a warrior of light I fight only when its right And this is a sad occassion with no other choice I will not be blind I will see all I find And while on this world I will rejoice Thank you God for this life, this breath, and this love Standing on my own two feet
On the top of a mountain I've reached it's peak Far down below in the valley with town People go about their business Making their rounds UP HERE I STAND, TALL AND ALONE The wind at my back The mighty sun shone I scream toward the heavens at the top of my lungs I've climbed the ladder Each one of its rungs Thanks be to God for such sweet spledor The cloud dancing peaks Are a sight to remember The rays of light cast shadows and brights In valleys and crevices I bow to such might The descend I begin, slow and sure footed Back to the people Who join me they wouldn't As careful as I may try and try to be I slip and fall Oh woe is me And the people below hear not of my screams My bones they are broken Skin ripped at the seams Cursing and crying I cry to the Lord "How could you do this? What is our accord?" Smiling and serene it answers me back "You set yourself Such a treacherous track "And now you curse me after blessing before How can you doubt? How are you not sure?" At that point I saw the truth through the lies In spite of the pain I attempted to rise Asking for strength I crawled down the hill My body survived By sheer force of will Not only just mine, but the Lord's from on high It will help when we ask From the first till we die A world of abstraction does not sound so bad
Much better than some dreams I have had Reality has some monster and fear In every moment they try to move near In abstraction resides demons as well Just pick you poision, the end can not dwell A like my little world of beauty and hope Perhaps abstract and real can have a chance to elope They say there are two types of people on earth There are talkers and doers and one gives some worth Abstract or real, actions are key Follow forth dreams with hearts souls and body Continue to dream till the sweet bitter end Go forth and make real your beautiful abstraction The path of truth is wraught with peril
A path some need walk in their bones and marrow No fear to be had From no worldly cad This form a mere fad No point in getting mad Pass this along In words or in song Truth is the way Tis no more to say Gather round now, tis a tale to tell
Of Goddess and Gods the eternal well From which we all drink It comes from before there was time When the universe had identity to find And it began to think All those forces and powers celest Began to form up, not longer in jest For a serious step the brink Atoms collide as suns swirl and form Planets become solid like pie crust, solid and warm Away emtpiness does sink A new void to be taken by those Created at start in the begining they rose The ONE and the many The One was the top that none comprehend The being of power, the start and the end The provider of nothing and plenty Below this were those not quiet the top This made their power lust a bit tough to stop But their quest it was empty The Gods o the stars and lords out in space Existing before our little race For them goes some empathy Their tale is but sad for those few that have heard The truth is funny, there is power in words This is their end It started with two near to one point Gamira and Centuri their name did annoint Story of two friends One a galaxy center, a cluster of stars Gamira enclosed billions including us and red Mars Power to control his will out to send No recognizable appearance we could see His form was the stars, his conscience more free His reality bends Moving from away Centuri does creep Like a partner in bed, closer they meet But they are too cold or too hot Centuri a hole, endless and black Bright and early massive he sparked Leaving a void with light showing not Between these two titans stood the Goddess just one The in-between the rocks and the sun Trinity her lot It was Glama her name, who brought them to come To a gap that they filled with explosions done Her attention got Gamira the light, Centuri the hole They went to eachother like fire to coal Destruction She waits now, Eternal and pure She know the one, the truth The all The ultimate Mother |
