fire fills the air
               it whispers in the wind
           it soars above
    it's whispers carry
         wonders foreign
                          yet familiar
                                       the past turned to ash
                                the future
                             the fire wonders
             is the future near
                       and yet it realised
        the future is far
                                    not in distance
                           not in reality
           but in time
                     what the future holds
                                       the flame waits to see

electricity fills the air
a strike
a ray of light
falls from the heavens
a tree turns to ash
a ray of light is pure
a ray of light is fire
the sky clears
all is calm
but something is gone
missing
the sky goes dark once more

confusion clouds my brain
I remember past
I have forgotten present
fog clouds my brain
new memories fade
old memories seem new
time is an item
memories are dreams
life is substance
death is the end to reality
the fog fades my sanity remains

stars collide
the world has ended
       the world has just begun
  the sky is close
      the ground is far
soaring above
       clouds
               stars
     every thing you know
is below you
        your future remains above
you watch as galaxies collide
                 your memories slowly fade
        everything fades
  until
    everything and nothing
are
     the
           same

it holds
my dearest things
treasures new and old
my memories
the box tattered and old
even though it's broken so
no amount of money
no amount of gold
can compare to the worth
this box holds
even though it's small
it has endured
moments
painful
bitter
and moments
sweet
serene
from these moments
these memories
the box is scarred
for that box is cherished
for this no one can buy
a box showered
in tears
showered in love
when others ask about this box
I simply say
in this box
memories are contained
this box is a treasure that cannot
be bought
or borrowed
some respond with
but it's just a box
I say otherwise
but who knows
maybe it's just a
box tattered and old

bright
in a sea dark as night
colors explode
in the cosmos
stars are grains of sand
planets created
planets implode
the suns are countless
beyond the sky
lies wonders untold
colors like fire works explode
but beware within this vast beauty
like the wonders untold
there are dangers unknown
dangers to behold
and yet admire the scene before you
for now you view it from afar
in the future you
may admire among the stars
but be warned once more
remember great beauty
can hide greater darkness

Lingering in the darkness
once they were light
now dark as midnight
they bring only fright
their hearts once made of gold
broken from tragedies untold
where respect was once written
bitter words are stricken
so in the shadows they hide
from the pain they hide
quiet words are uttered
as if one whisper
would shatter
their soul
the one who speaks such fragile words
grants them hope once more
a new light unfolds
in a land of shadows light appears
the saddened
the grief stricken
the ones with tragedies untold
are illuminated
the shadows of darkness have lost their hold
their hope makes them once again bold
trust is fragile
so are soles
trust is earned by ones
with
kind words
bright hearts
a small amount of hope
can inspire others
to shoot for the stars
