Some claim the future
Is somehow predetermined,
Yet we have freewill?
Hear Earth's music, all that listen,
Witness its mighty performance.
Indulge in the brilliance of its show,
Leaving one feeling much suspense

At the fires brimming deep within
A towering and cavernous mountain,
At its vastly expanding bodies and
Pools of crystalline water, blue and green,

The towering, colossus lumber
Flourishing throughout the land,
The beaches, with an infinite
Number of specks we've named sand.

Yet none mustn't ever forget
Our moon's ascent, how our sun sets,
The cyclic continuance of both,
And how they contribute to our growth.

This world's nature, ancient and grand,
Needs not much to understand
Its display is enough to convey
With or without us, it needn't count its days,

For Mother Earth, forged from the stars,
Has traveled heavily, wide and far,
Its age exceeds all mortal lives
That scour the surface, and still thrive.

Older than man and creature alike,
Besting all rocks of space it strikes.
Though it may seem everlasting,
Sadly, that thought is met with contrasting;

This wildly microscopic planet
Is a mere grain of nothingness
When compared to its containment:
Our surrounding universe
And its chaotically large abyss.
Life isn't meant to be painless.
Your past won't ever be stainless.
If you still want to reach the top,
The bottom's where you'll have to drop.

Often, the key to our success
Is through rigorous kinds of tests.
Trial and error is how you
Accomplish most of what you'll do.

For nobody can be perfect,
That much is what most can suspect.
The man that claims he's done no wrong
Is like a concert with no song.

Take this advice, it's quite alright
To make mistakes; keep up the fight!
The only time you truly lose
Is when you give up and choose to.
May you never
Face such horror
That is, for some,
Always in store.

You have no clue
What some will face.
You won't see it.
There is no trace.

Every day, they
Fight to survive.
Miraculous,
How they're alive.

Pain and torture's
What they endure.
You don't think so?
Well, rest assured

That you don't have
To think it's real.
You're still lucky
To never feel

Agonizing,
Woeful despair.
An unseen scar
Is what they wear.

You'll never know
Sickening pain.
For this dark blight
Creates disdain

For all of life
And to just be.
How do I know?
It lives in me.
I gaze upon this flaxen-haired,
Blue-eyed, fair lady.
She lights the spark for every flame
Burning deep in me.

Her peacefulness is humble.
Her charm, quite a delight!
I know no other like her.
She's a peculiar sight.

Lovely is this woman,
How she helps my weary soul.
Soon, she'll call herself my wife.
Set in motion are these goals.

Everything of which I dreamed,
I find hiding in her!
She's the only one for me:
Blue-eyed, flaxen-haired Debbie.
You have no clue how easily
Some are shattered, though plain to see.
Heightened sensitivity:
A gift and curse embedded in thee.

Feel more than you can tolerate,
Dwelling in feeling's what you hate.
Wallowing in this sordid state;
This pain won't seem to dissipate.

In this cold cell, you must confide,
But from yourself, how can you hide?
Inside your mind, you'll bide your time.
Feeling too much was your one crime.
Daybreak shining through the sky,
Lighting all to see;
Start your brand new day.

Shades of blue and red highlight
A grand, picturesque scene;
God, please show the way.

Infinite possibilities,
So much to both do and see.
Give today the chance it deserves,
Chances are you'll discover...

Charting for what's soon in store,
Won't be lead astray;
Need to finalize

My long and fruitful trip ahead;
Ending's what I dread,
But don't need to cry.

Journeys through this world anew,
Findings prove my goal is true.
Take the helm, I'll fret no more.
Seal my fate, open my door.
