Haha!
What a marvelous year it has been
Surely, there were ups and downs
Dark corners explored
Sharp twists, and turns
Hurricanes along my path
Earthquakes that shook me down
Marvelous..
Just marvelous...

To think I thought I wouldn't survive the journey
Well... I was proven wrong
By He who is.
Yet again He has brought me to my victories (just how He promised)

But it wasn't that bad...
Surely there were giants to be slain
Dark forces that opposed me along the way.
It really isn't that bad...
As long as you don't fight alone.

To win a battle is Triumphant!
but to share a victory with comrades...
Is a whole different feeling!
To fight by their side
Just gives you a whole new purpose...

Praise to the one who says, "I am who I am"
For He is who He is!
None can interfere His divine plan
For His sons, and daughters!

Although,
There's still a long way ahead of us
And that's for sure.
Although,
We can not see what lies ahead
He has already cleared the way...
For you,
And for me
So, fear not.
Just watch how He fights for you, and I
And you'll see...
How His mighty hand strikes down
Who ever dares go againts us.

Don't let fear take away your victories...

"A dispute within..."

Ah, yes.
This familiar feeling
Anchored to my heart
Stuck and heavy
But makes me...
I try to pull the anchor away
But my
Oh my, is it stuck.

who would have caused me such distraught?

You.
Me?
You!
Me?
Yes, you!
It can't be. I'm me!

I think I've gone insane
And who knew?
Who knew that someone like...
ha! It's that girl, isn't it?
No
It's an anchor.
huh?
Yes, it's her.

Have you seen her?
she's strong
Witty
Has eyes that hold the universe
And her hair
At times
like gentle waves
That go down her shoulders

She's strong, yes
But at the same time
Delicate
And fragile
Like a little girl
Dreaming for adventure

She sounds amazing
She is.

So whats the problem, lad?
She doesn't seem so bad
She's not bad at all!
Then why does your face seem to fall?

I don't know..
It's me.

I think i had more dispute in me about whether I should post this or not... -.- :))

"This Heart Anew"

Where is that heart of yours?

The heart cold as ice
Buried deep in the snow capped mountains
where no light can touch
No warmth can reach

A heart without a beat
Not dead
Just barely moving
Frozen in place
Covered in deep blue ice

Here it used to lie
in this vast empty darkness
Where it slumbered
Like a dragon never to be awakened

But where has it gone?
This mountain that was once covered in snow
Now filled with life
with warmth strong enough to melt the ice
Turning it to shimmering fresh waters
What was once covered in white
Now covered in green, yellow, brown, and purple

This heart anew
No where to be found
But can be heard
Beating here
There
Everywhere
Echoing through the mountain sides

"In life..."

What do you choose to do
In a life as complicated as you?

We run here and there
Busying ourselves with what we know
Walking to and fro
Figuring out how we should grow

Or not grow...

We seem to have such busy lives
Doing or not doing
Trying to make sense of it all
But end up falling short

What is this life that we know?

We meet people
We talk
We dance
We shop
We work
We study (or not)

When times are bad...

We cry
We get sad
We get angry
And just give up

When times are good

We cry too
We laugh
We dance
And maybe prance?

But it's all the same for you and I
When we do or not do
Whether we like it or not
Things happen

Good things
Bad things
It's all the same
For the good and the bad

But when things get confusing
Don't get hasty
Slow down just a bit
And maybe you won't get hit

There are much things in life
That we don't expect
We know nothing about the future
And that's what we should accept

But still...

During our days
Whether it be
Left or right
Up or down
This or that

We still have to choose
We still have to decide

"An Eagle that soared high"

I woke up today thinking about you
I woke up today wondering what I'm going to do
Where is the eagle that used to soar high
An eagle that learned how to fly
Never wanting to touch the ground again

You have lost your flight
You fell high from the sky
Now you walk on the ground
Vulnerable to predators
To things that walk on the surface of the earth
What used to be your prey
Have now become your predator

What can I do?
I wasn't the one who taught you how to fly
I see you down there
Lost
Lonely
Not knowing what to do
Or where to go
Going deeper into the dark unknown

Will there be a time I lose sight of you?
Where I can not reach
And watch over you?

We used to fly together
Racing from one cloud to the other
Seeing the sun set and rise
Do you not miss these things?

I hope you don't lose sight of the sky
I hope you don't lose sight of yourself
An eagle who is born to soar high
Flying up in the sky where predetaors can not reach

Don't lose sight

To me. To you.

I thought I knew everything
But everything I knew was nothing

A step to gaining wisdom, and understanding.

"This child I once knew"

This child I once knew
Knew nothing but himself
Venturing out on his own
Was the way he lived

He watched and observed
Did things on his own
He made his days
And he made his nights

This child I once knew
A curious mind he had
Questioning everything under the sun
Or over the stars
Nothing else existed
But the things he'd rather do

You see,
this child was young
Yet was drenched in reality
He saw what others didn't see
Felt what others didn't feel
He saw beyond
What others couldn't see

This child ventured on his own
None tried to stop him
As a curious child he was
He explored the very depths
of reality

Without knowing the cost
Of what he was about to do
He lost the child in him
Way too soon
Never to look back again
Because he knew he had to pursue
The truth

The things that happen to us are never without reason...
Look back with no regret, but see the good of the past to make a better future.
