To capture the dreams in a flower that dreamers bore
To fascinate their imaginations for many years in store
Before the day that a weapon was made to end all peace
And stressed they have to end this war of men at least
For charities unknown have these little people all made
Only to see the world's chaotic nature start to escalate
Feelings made unwelcome in a world unappreciative of we
To live only in your minds and hearts in eternal memory
Something so pure that was believed to know our souls
Thrashed away into forgetfulness upon the world of coals
We exist for those who still have love and desire truth
Never to walk beyond our gates to a world known uncouth
We are still found by wanderers within our own reason
For notice and company will always be a feeling pleasing
For let seekers possess their hopes to continue finding
Let their searches be fruitful and wisdom be unbinding
Drift
Separating myself from my mind and the shore
Being within the salty waters and I exist no more
All I can hear is the wind that is blowing
Forgetting the bitter even though it is snowing
The cold tries too hard but is ineffective in harm
No pressures of tomorrow and thoughts that alarm
Only a grey sky sprinkling frozen water above me
Never will I again know a peace that is so lovely
The thoughts of mine are drawn in incessant waves
Nothing now for any brave soul would need to save
The ocean before me so tremendously vast and wide
But will I return like the waves with the very tide
To see the world as it is of a form of flowing liquid
But this is a memory that I won't ever wish to get rid
My destiny lies around me so I go ahead on deeper in
For this is where this journey of life soon will begin
The sun as my North star by day that I will follow
For my heart and soul will forever be contained below
It is of infinite routes that I will be able to define
For the ocean owns me and every bit of it will be mine
Realization
The crevices of the stone wall have grown viciously
As had the plants that live in them so rigorously
I felt the wall as if it were a person once created
Only an object of my attention for it was dilapidated
Following the trail of remnants that once stood high
Now seemed at rest for its protection now will lie
It lead me as it had in my younger years as a child
When there was an existence of joy when once I smiled
But I am no more than this fallen wall that I am beside
It was on my track of surviving as my firm, solid guide
Its location was what kept me on the pathway to my home
From when I moved here there were many areas to comb
From what my sight gave to me this day as I reminisced
I searched for hidden feelings that I never did resist
My heart so open as I stood in the past there encased
I remembered those days that I had let to go in waste
I saw more than stubbles of shattered rocks in my eyes
I saw what before I could never comprehend or realize
I am no more than a man and I will be too fallen to dust
For knowing my mortality the future must be onward thrust
Sunrise
As the sun rises higher like a first lit candle
And it peaks above the trees above their mantle
It begins a new day in the forest and meadow
The morning coolness drifts with a beautiful glow
The dew as fresh as this morning reemerges
And the calls of nature soon begin their surges
Of harmonious radiance that brightens the day
To the wonderous energy that starts to play
Some say it is a life force or undying love
They say this is what dreams are made of
Is it the tenderness of life or the fragility of man
That makes this mystery unsolved always stand
This life is a flow of judgment and living
As the day is fresh each morning is forgiving
Will we learn a lesson from our surrounding
Or find its existence only as confounding
These poems were written for entertainment, to express beauty and creativity, but they are not the ideas I uphold on a personal level.
