The end
Many have shouted its name
Preaching that it had come

Now it is down to three
Will it truly be?

No.

I know it is not the end,
Because more is to tell
I know it is not the end,
Even if many will see one
I know it is not the end,
Because when I thought I make my own end
Laid over ready to kick

A little girl stopped me shadowed slightly with a blue glow

I have not seen her before, but she look a little familiar
Her voice shrieked in fear as if she valued my presence
I could see her tears rolling
But I could not move

She stepped closer and placed her hand on my cheek
And cried
"Daddy don't go."

I know it is not the end, because she made sure I would see the end
I know it is not the end, because I was saved by someone who was not born

I spoke with foreseers to learn her name
All of them said the same thing
She was my daughter

The reason she looked familiar is that her mother
Might be someone I already knew

I know it is not the end, because she has yet to begin

Does she hear it?
The silent beat that flows through space
As if it held a message

Does she hear it?
The opened door in the walls that hardly move
As if something was holding a gift

Does she hear it?
The quiet tones that rise at her sight
As if it were birds singing good morning to a peaceful day

Does she hear the signs? Or will she finally notice once they are gone? I do not have much time, cause when I am gone so are they. I know that she knows, but does she see the same? Questions I hope to see before I join the stars.

On the mountain top blinded in white
I cannot see a thing
Nothing but trees are in sight
Trapped in this cave
The only other eyes I met with are hers

Stuck inside this mountain covered in its bandage
Why am I still alive?
Stuck in this freezing cold
Waiting for salvation
I always wanted a moment alone with her
But this is not what I saw

Time is ticking faster
But cold makes it flow no more
We are waiting for salvation
Praying for what miracles come to mind
I always tried to push for solitary
But this is not what I saw

I lay at her side
To keep what warmth was left
All to do was count each breath
And watch as it would dance in what room it held
I could feel her tears trying to burst
But the cold made it impossible
All I could do was hold her tight
This isn't how I saw this

Another grumble of the mountain and light
The bandage is gone
Melted away
But how?

No time for that
She is getting weaker, I need to keep her safe
She tells me that she cannot walk
I gotta hurry
I carried her down the mountain
Through the forests and by the river
"Please say something"
"Why did you save me?"
"To return a favor."
This isn't how I saw this

The roads finally appeared
How much time has passed?
A trucker passed us by
He must have recongnized our faces from the media
The wheels came to screeching halt
As if he had came into sudden surprise

He asked if we were the two
I confirmed and asked if he was heading our way
Not somewhere that as home
Not somewhere that was crowded
Just a place where we can get some rest without the worry
Even though we love the youth in our families
They love us a little too much to give us some rest when we had been gone for a time
This isn't how I saw this

On the ride home the driver found us something to eat
I was just fine, but she needed it the most
After the snack she caught up on the sleep she lost
This isn't how I saw this

The driver lened me his phone, so I could dial home
To let my family know
I ask to see if we could stay the night
And surprise everyone else
She didn't argue, in fact she was relieved
This isn't how I saw this

Passed through town at high noon
The driver said hope to see you soon
One more hill to climb

Up to the house I hoped to see
No one was home but me
She liked the look
But worried about how to enter
In till the jinkle settled her
Just inside I hear the barks
Of firends I have known since youth
Welcoming me and my friend into their home

She felt a little tense
But slept at the site of a comfy bed
I eased the dogs so she could sleep but efforts fell short
When the new one to the group walked in
He was surprised to see me
And asked if she was okay

"Yeah, I made sure of it"

I sent out a message with the phone telling everyone where to meet
Giving us the moonlight all alone
I join her in the bed, where she layed her head on my chest
Asking once again "Why did you save me?"
I replayed the memories and told her the truth
Nothing was left to hide
All she did was smile and whisper "Thank you"
This isn't how I saw this

Later that night we snuck outside to watch the stars
I took one look at her, and saw them dancing in her eyes
She looked at me and smiled
Then after all this time
She leaned forward for the kiss


This is how I saw this

Do they miss me?
Those I have shown my hand in kindness
The ones that which upon a single glance
Would ease the tensions of daylight

Do they miss me?
She of which showed sweet whispers asking for forgiveness
When none was needed to be heard?
How about her, the only one that tried to enter the way of Cupid
When all I done was light the darkness that held her
The model that showed interest in my growing world
The little sister I had grown
Or the angels I dug out of the earth
What about them?

I hear no word other then whispers from the crowds
I see no word of their lives other then the lights that drag my eyes into their path
I speak no name then screech of random thoughts
Do they do the same?

I wonder how many times I missed a chance
I wonder if they still feel the same

In the shadows of the lost
The lights to move on have become illusion
As the war goes on
The sons left behind are trying to take over
Shredding the last trace of the whole
They try to trap me in the grounds
I hold all silence trying to stay at peace
But the fire only grows

I just want to move on in the grounds I built
But the wars creeps behind ever so close
I am tired of the battle
I thought I was done with this
The demons never stop hunting
Prying open all the bars that traps the skeletons
Buried deeper is the beast I starved
Seeing the flesh laying on the ground
Busting apart his cell ready to be unleashed again

Just one more year, one more bullet to take
Before I loose control
Days of chimes meant to embrace the love
Cannot be felt without their arms
I just want to have one year without the lost of light
I just want to find the last chance of passage into love
I just want to find Serenity

Where is the soul to bring life to the darkest of death
How to find a woman to walks the lines
And soar into the distance no how far we fall

Where is Serenity?

I have tried to find her work
Peering into every pure soul that catches my eye
Every time I find the doors
I only found the trails of vampires
Waiting to drain my essence

Serenity is somewhere in this world
I just want to see her just one time
Once I find her I know that my search will end
But just one question

Where is she?

On a bed in which I lay
A life I see
A century old path leading
To this moment
No matter the path I took
It all lead to this
At least in this I feel no pain
No sorrow
No regret
Soon I am to meet
All that brought others and me
Heart beat eighty

I can see the glows of the tears
Slowly falling down their cheeks
People I have brought together
By my own hand and the grace of fate
Mothers, daughters, brothers, sisters
People of my past of torn from the battles
United under the pressure of loss
People for the future
Are brought another lesson of life
People of present
Given another relief from inner waterfalls
Heart Beat Seventy

My wive is closest
My daughter is next
Whispering please don't go
The warmth I feel
Is from their breaking hearts
I sing the songs from which we first met
Trying my best not to sound goofy
Managing to ease the pain for only a moment
Lights start dancing around me
Family from what seemed each generation
Come to help me across the line.
Heart Beat Sixty

Her hair lays on my chest, feels like it did when we first met
On that summer day down by the river
The water rushing through our toes as we danced the song of the winds
Laughter filled the air
Fish even decided to join the chorus
The splash of their jumps changes the beat
Our hearts sync to it
The air is filled with love
Even the angel of death paused in admiration.
Chuckling "I guess it will be a while"
Heart Beat Fifty

My sisters all gather in tears while my brothers to stay strong
I whisper to them I was sorry
For not being there in a time of need
I told them what our time apart has caused
I told them in fear I would never see them again
They became ghosts to fill the gaping hole that held in my heart for times too long
Only to dig its depth
The middle and second of youngest sisters granted the forgiveness
The older that is closer to my number still eggs the stubborn head
My brothers never held a grudge
The youngest of eight, never held a love quite like the rest
But still understood the pain
Despite having been born during the aftershocks
Heart Beat thirty

The Lights grew brighter
No sound could move
When this began I could hear the cries of women
Bringing out the next of the world
I hear the shouts of children in pain
I could feel everything
But now there was nothing, but a pressure on my chest
Dogs have gathered on my body, next to my wife and daughter
Smiling at a sight long seen not
My wife's hears their breaths and cries even louder
But no sound could be heard
My daughter knew what was coming, and joined the tears too
I felt the tears like the waters of holy river
Cleansing the filth still clinging to my soul
Heart Beat Fifteen

The voices from the past start to enter
Encouraging words that all will be alright
Everyone around me has changed
From the old that they once were, to youth in which we first met
My grandparents who died in pain appeared by my side
Looked better then I could remember
My wife was once again 16, the year that we met
My children were babies, crawled by the animals that lay on my body
Grandpa tells me that "This is the last look, might as well enjoy,
"The fruits of my labor have grown, but for now I will see the seeds,
"Each breath I take unlocks the cage that my soul was trapped,
"So I may live,
"If there is anything you want to say, say it now"
Heart Beat ten

I lifted my hand to touch my wife, as I would when surprising her with a present
I asked for a pen and paper to write one last message
My time is running out
Heart Beat Nine

The Lights raise their hands to grant me a slice of strength
Enough to help with what was needed
"To my family, to my friends"
Heart Beat Eight
"If you need me and I am gone. Look to the Stars"
Heart Beat Seven
"My mind has always been there, it was only a matter of time..."
Heart Beat Six
"Before my body decided to follow. Remember the words I have said..."
Heart Beat Five
"For each was meant to guide you. Do not allow yourselves to fall apart because of petty..."
Heart Beat Four
"Wars. I taught you all to patch wounds as soon as they are made so that you will never lose touch..."
Heart Beat Three
"of who you are an where you came from. The devil himself tried to take me over, but I fought it by accepting who I was. Do not argue over difference, do not blame any new lives that enter in the place of the lost..."
Heart Beat Two
"And do not stop being a family. Take my words and grow. I love you all with all my heart and I want you all to remember that no matter the trouble. I want you to remember that I will be still be here at your side protecting you every step you take. As will our ancestors. Use your gifts well and use them to help others. Please."
Heart Beat One
"With Love, Dakota. Blessed Be"
