Dear beautiful sunrise,
Oh how I would love,
To taste with the eyes.
Indulge in your beauty,
And fill my stomach,
With all of your purity,
Your rays casting down,
From over the trees,
And carried along,
By the oceans breeze,
Just witnessing a glimpse,
Would surely bring,
A grown man to his knees.
Oh how intoxicating it would be,
To taste what the eye could see

Time flies,
As an eagle soaring through the sky,
Take your wings,
And learn to fly.
Life is too short,
To not follow your dreams,
Walk with me,
As we wade through these streams,
On the pillars of eternity,
Look to the great wonders,
And find serenity.

In the blink of an eye,
The world can cease.
Woe to you,
As you hear the people cry.
Wishing heaven,
And inviting hell,
What remains,
As we lift the veil?
Broken and ashamed,
Of who we are,
Lower your sleeve,
To cover that scar.
What we are,
Is not who we'll be.
Finding a purpose,
In lifting the frail,
Who can we be?
Tomorrow will tell.

A beautiful life,
For all of us,
Is what we expect.
Dull, painless moments,
What's the fun in that?
A life without sorrow,
A life without worry,
A life we couldn't love to the fullest.
To enjoy life,
To it's fullest potential,
We need the polar opposites.
For without hate,
We don't truly understand love,
Without sorrow,
We can't appreciate true happiness,
Without worry,
We wouldn't know the meaning of faith,
Without pain,
We wouldn't have pleasure.
Even in the darkest moments,
We have a small,
Peculiar light,
And in this light,
We will find,
The true beauty in life.

the sound of a wave lapping,
summer thickens

and suddenly everything is
vaguely surreal, under the
hidden stomach of the stars

ghosts of silver struggle
in the white light.

when the water splashes
little islands croon.

love, rescues me from
the millions of pieces
where i lie scattered.

Strobes of light bounce around you
And the forces keep pulling me in.
Im out of my depth in this moment,
But the forces keep pulling me in.

The mystery compels me forward
And the shadow keeps me away.
Out of the darkness you appeared
To take me to solace once more.

Passion seeps from your words,
And the forces keep pulling me in.
Im scared to let myself go,
But the forces keep pulling me in.
