The Longest Journey - Tale Of A *****

The battle line is drawn,

My path to freedom is craving

for insane courage, my cost of sacrifice

can be easily traded, for there are thousand

others like me, all vying for the same goal.

So the odds are meaningless to consider,

Yet in this dim premise of survival, hope sustains

With its tenuous grip on my sanity

I will have no regrets if I fail

Failure means nothing

I’ll be happy to return to my old world

The only reason that keeps me going

Is my burning desire to share,

For I have learned so much,

Yes I am precious,

In fact we all are,

But what would the mortal world know?

They take everything for granted,

I could offer them answers,

For I know the language of the wind

And how they make every flower blossom,

And the Sun, his ray has the power

To destroy everything in its wake,

Yet it is gentle, sustaining life,

Making a bold statement of his Love.

I know his love even more for I was his ray,

and oh! The joy I can never stop savoring

how happy I was to spread light in the world

of darkness, how I watched Nature wake up to my call.

 

 

yes, my world is a paradise, but it is not without sorrow

The clouds, do you ever wonder why they roar?

Is it because they proclaim their might?

No, they cry, and they cry hard,

I was once their teardrop,

I fell trying to affect the world

Around me, but it was futile

Such is my irony as a mortal

Even now I am trying to do the same

I f I succeed, I will cry once again

For having to return in to the world

Of hollow birth and death,

And the true meaning of my tears

Will be lost amongst the smiles

Of innocent mortals.
