Words escape the mind
Endless search to find
A meaning to this rhyme
It’s hard to know the next line
When one is running out of time
It’s easy with all these signs
To know what should be mine
Without a meaning to this rhyme
Many might begin to cry
But fear not it is no lie
One is not bound by a tie
The meaning to this rhyme
Can be reached when not blind
Oh! But not any seeing eye
Although this could be a crime
There may be no meaning to this rhyme

My eyes begin to tear as I look at this in a sort of fear
Your last year was not one of much good cheer
You fought to stay here as long as you could keep in gear
Just enough to hear we all loved and held you dear
Even though you'll be gone year after year
your love and memory we'll keep real near

It rumbles as the storm begins

Frustration strikes all with in

Raging wars on peaceful land

In the end there is no lending hand

For bonds are ripped and torn

The mender is completely worn

Sick from furious waves

Full of overwhelming craze

The sea itself has been iced over

As unrealistic hopes dreadfully lower

The calm is so far into the distant

Its meaning becomes nonexistent

Misinterpreted loved ones

Are mistaken as the burden

The obscure truth is masked in doubt

Heavily hanging in the air  

Such animosity, not a soul should ever bear

Force words to form your thoughts

Is something you ought to not

For they will be empty lines

With no meaningful signs



Beautiful words must naturally unfold

To show the inner thoughts you hold  

Written with the utmost ease

To set your spirit free  



When your piece is finished

You will feel completely replenished

For those words created unique art

Coming solely from your heart

When lying upside down I see the whole world hanging on a silver cloud

Stare at it long enough it begins to become right side up

Roots grow towards greater heights with no end to their soaring flights

They reach for the stars interlocking with earths loving arms

Making a perfect way to lead us to life’s golden gate

Opening our souls pouring wisdom into our minds’ empty holes

Rekindling us once again to be one with the universe, moon, and sun

Can’t you see our souls are different

Leaving us with no fulfillment

This love will never progress

Only allowing it to regress

We’ve found the comfort ground

Too soon have we settled down

Asleep our spirits wait to be awakened

It’s not here the spell will break

So each other we should not take

We must let go of what we know

To walk away on our own

Or together our souls will live alone
