From the purple mountains to the vast blue skies,

From the wild bears to the intricate design on a butterfly,

From the colorful people who travel the world, to a house cat chasing a bird


Little children playing in the dirt, growing up, getting ready for work

Hard cover, soft cover, leather bound books

Walking to school in the bright sunlight,

Waiting for the bus on a starry night


Holding your family warm in your grasp

Mourning the ones that have already passed


Walking your dog on a leash outside

Going for an exciting joyride

Skipping college classes just cause you can

Studying hard for that same exam


Sitting inside, playing a vintage board game,

or going outside to run in the rain

Eating food everyday before going to bed

while having a sturdy or shabby roof over your head


From gently painting the flat plains or rolling hills,

to peacefully protesting overpriced bills

Pleading your case in court before going to jail,

and receiving unread, unopened mail


Some people sacrifice everyday for you and me,

our brave soldiers volunteer to save us because…

freedom isn’t free

The moon's magic blanket,
The life it's rays begin
In darkness, it is not dark,
But light that is hidden within

The moon does not give light,
It reflects it from the sun
But it auras a magic feeling,
In which there is no compare

It beckons you,
It dares
The danger, seems none
As it captures you in trance
Your heart, your soul...
Your life

The moon, it's more than that
It's imagination alive,
A magic blanket that watches you as it hangs high in the air,
Is it a moon? Or a whimsy of the mind?
Is it science? Or a feeling to which none other can provide?
Does it give life? Or does it rip it from the living?

It warms me at night...
The moon's magic blanket

We shall not wait for prince charming to save us,
We must bring ourselves up from what haunts our beings.
Don't sit upon a filth covered floor and  wait for results.
Allow dust filled time to be motivation for bettering ourselves.

But when our fate has turned for what we've made it,
Don't wait for someone to be in hell to show them heaven.
Be the better side of yourself to even those unfamiliar.
Open up to them with confidence and pride.

Show kindness to the experienced and unexperienced alike,
And give chances those who accept them, not necessarily deserve them.
Beware though, of sympathy and care's dangerous results.
For the mistakes learned from are what divide the fine from the lazy.

The sweetest smile is when there is no mirror
The cutest laugh is when no one can hear
And the loveliest words are ones that you hold dear
