The Rose in the thicket

There is a rose in a thicket

Beginning to bud

But it’s hid by the thorns

It’s down near the mud

As beautiful as it is

And as radiant it seems

It fears to grow

And reach for its dreams

With a little mud on its petals

The rose is weighed down in despair

This beautiful rose is now feeling hopeless

It’s going to die in its dark thorny lair

Now the rain comes down

The rose stops budding

It’s given up hope

Then the sun shines thru

Illuminating the thicket

With a small little ray warming the petals

The rose lift’s its petals

Discovering it’s now sitting higher

The rain had washed the rose clean

The rose that was in despair

Is now rising above its dark, thorny lair…

Never Give Up

Have you ever felt so lost

That you cannot find the words

To help others understand the cost 

You would pay to be in another place

Then the one you are right now

So which path do you choose?

And what do you have to lose?

To accomplish the tasks that are layed before

This road you have journeyed down

With a strong will and determination

You can stare back in the face of devastation

With out any fears 

You can pay the price

Through your blood, sweat, and tears

To gain your inspiration

And give your soul illumination

Your journey has just begun

So make sure you have some fun

With a long road ahead

There is no giving up and playing dead

There is so much more to life

Then just wading through your wallows of strife

So with a strong will and determination

You can stare back in the face of devastation

With out any fears

You have paid the price

Through your blood, sweat, and tears

To gain your inspiration

And give your soul illumination

As this journey moves on

The heartbreaks seem to never be gone

Bringing your spirits down

And like a prison you are bound

Look back on your memories before

What are you living for?

With the memory of your strong will and determination

You can again stare into the face of devastation

With out any fears

You are paying the price

Through your blood, sweat, and tears

To gain your inspiration

And give your soul illumination

And when your journey is through

You will stand as one of the few

To exceed your own expectations

Not giving in to the intoxications

Of the ease of giving up

Giving yourself  a half empty cup

With your strong will and determination

You have stared down the face of devastation

With out any fears

You have paid the price 

Through your blood, sweat, and tears

To achieve salvation

And gain Exaltation

Modern Day Superman

In this world of sex and greed

We search for a hero

But who will heed

Who will be the one

To save us from this life

Who will be my savior

To take away my strife

Will they wear a costume

With blue and crimson red

Strong and charming

And can even stop lead

No this man doesn’t exist

It’s just another story

That will eventually fade in the mist

But I don’t have to

I can step up to the plate

I am not strong or charming

I have never altered fate

I am a average man

But I can do good

And help where I can

I can be a hero

To someone, somewhere

If just for one day

At Night

I hold on to you every night

You grasp to me, oh so tight

I smell you

I taste you

You’re everything to me

With your love that has set me free

You’re the woman of my dreams

You’re the fantasies in me

You’re the love of my life

And I want to make you my wife

But if only you were real

And my heart would begin to feel

Then I wouldn’t have to be

So lonely, can’t you see

But at night your are mine

Making my dreams, oh so fine

Keeping the loneliness away

With those sweet words you have to say

We are in love

You are my Angel from above

You’re the woman of my dreams

You’re the fantasies in me

You’re the love of my life

And I want to make you my wife

But if only you were real

And my heart would begin to feel

Then I wouldn’t have to be

So lonely, can’t you see

Please come out of my dreams

And in this world remain with me

We can be happy can’t you see

Will our love ever be

A tangible thing

That can make us sing

All thru the night

As we hold each other, oh so tight

Caving Parable

Into the pit I must go

Through the caverns new and old

To search for a gem worth more than gold

Where it is I do not know

I stumble and find secrets untold

Deep down I go to where the Lava flows

High up to the places where the sun is cold

In search for the gem of mine

I’ll go anywhere and hope for a sign

But now I search around

Till I find that sacred ground

Hoping I will find my peace

And my roaming heart will cease
