Unpolished Ink
A tiny feather small and soft
makes little impact
when it floats aloft,
ten thousand feathers
make a bird
which sings out loud
and can be heard,
it’s hard to be a single feather
but we are strong
when we fly together
Aquila is latin for eagle

I hide behind these walls
So I don’t know at all
What I do not see
Has less chance of hurting me

I might burn a few
Bridges, one or two
Leaving me no need
Of looking behind me

I cover up my ears
So I don’t have to hear
Words spoken true
When spoken to

Close tight both my eyes
Hoping to lose sight
Of the things they do
That I myself do too

Having little doubt
I keep an open mouth
That clearly runs away
With what I have to say

What comes to light
You are bound to find
Through all of this
Sadly, a closed off mind

I love brownie,
Just like I love you,
And everything sweet.

FALL

     I was living alone
Just trying to survive
Working my life away
Not sure if I wanted to be alive

I’d cry myself to sleep
After I turned out the light
My dreams were absent of color
They were always in black & white

Each day I’d force myself to carry on
Though I never knew why
Time was always in slow motion
As the world just passed me by

Never knowing God’s plan
Living in a dismal reality
Wishing on the brightest Stars
From a distant galaxy

Then I saw your face
And I heard love call
The Angels were singing
And I knew I was gonna FALL

What worries the weapon more than peace?
That sheath that seeks to still its story.
When kings grow old and tire of schemes
And children dream no more of glory.

What becomes the warrior
When heroes live only in song?
When there is no one left to conquer
And every battle has been won.

When the wind no longer speaks of steel
And mountains have forgot our name.
When all that's left are memories
Of the fallen, Of the shame.

Worry not though for the blade.
Spare no thought toward the sword,

For peace shall fall to slumber.

War will wake once more.

Everywhere I look I see vanity
No matter how much I want to avoid it
I turn on my screen & it's staring at me
Every scroll is another one, head full of air with perfect skin. I don't fit in.
