Dear father I'm here existing in the space you've made for me please turn my enemies from site.
Please hold the darkness, please free my soul from the terror. Make my spear hand strong and my heart stronger. My feet sure in their foundation. My mind focused upon the goal decided long before my time and all times to come. So I can stand true in the hurricane that walks among us. The wind tears my soul the rain blinds my eyes. As the the light dies yours is the only light that shines. Pulling always pulling me home. Battle after battle you've seen me through, walking through fire. Be it war, my soul or hearts desire. The deep calls my name like a lover to long without embrace. So please lift me high on wings made of wind and love and not let this darkness win.

Two trees with no leaves sitting on a hill facing the breeze. The harder it blows the closer they go. Deep good earth between their toes no place to go this is home. Met as little acorns some say, washed down the same river now they are together forever. Just two trees standing on the same heart

Wearaly walking through my mind full of dread. I feel the monster stalking. Always howling and never talking. Eyes glowing mouth full of teeth eerily red. From wence it came the earth is red and fire hot from souls fed. Through darkness and smoke I can feel.my heart choke and chains in my head. Share a tear a smile and hope from above and know what is is what was. When In Woods deep full of fear and weak your mind may not speak for fear of what it may hear. Tricked by a monster you yourself fostered. The other half of my twin raised from within. Given flight in the night to stalk and howl again.

Time isnt something to be taken for granted it runs round and round the clock like a man forsaken.
Nor should it be taken but given or granted.

Like love it's the only thing a man truly owns and does not own at the same time. It can only be felt not seen or heard or touched. In the long run that doesnt matter much.

From birth to bones the lonely road we walk we walk alone. Only slightly sharing moments in eternity. Rain drops, only drops in an ocean in the sky with no shore. Drink deeply there will be no more. Those in the desert thirst for it as the young pour it into any ******* bin close at hand. Watch ever watching the clock as it strikes the first second of forever and tomorrow.

I took a long walk in the woods today to ask the birds if spring is on it's way. I hopped and I skipped and I walked along day dreaming of big clouds and little fawns. My heart took flight out of site it went over the hill and down the *****. Away it ran needing nothing from this man. Through rocky crags with secrets deep I found my heart still asleep from our journey that took no feet.
As I touched to wake that which was in my breast I feared to think of what could be said. Why would I wake such a heart with secrets asleep. In my ear a whisper spoke of the things that I hold and Squirrel away. Need me not this day my friend for spring is here and we can both start again.
