oh cherry blossom
do grant wishes
bring life

can a tree of flowers
have hope
is it wise

knowing it brings joy
with it's aged wisdom
gently dominating the earths ground

showing humility
bravery
to all humanity
with it's precarious
and precious beauty

shinning light
giving warmth
the cool breeze
rustling the trees
flowers blooming
birds playing music
not a snow flack in sight
nor rain dropping to the earth
beaches and lakes
swimming holes filled with life.....
laughter.....
wild creatures of nature....
the heart and soul
free with inspiration
natures existence showing
her beauty
sounds of beauty beaming
a melody
music
for an artist

Fire that burns
Fire that scorches
Fire’s path that leads us
We are warriors
An ancient tribe
We stand strong
Blades sharp
Shields steady
Against the wind

Ancient we stand
Spirits of all
The eagle that cry’s
A bear that roars
Forever we endure
Never falling

Fire that burns
Fire that scorches
Centuries of time passes
We survive never conceding

Trees of old we are many
We are everywhere

Snow lies upon the ground
Coldly it blows through the sky
A wild wind all its own

Trees forcefully bent
Branches of life weighed with downing of white
A spell that binds us all
Like a tyrant king

The silence of its movements
The harshness of its fall
Chilling all in its wake
This unfeeling element

Chilled days without sun
Gray clouds
Colder nights freezing life
Icicles that hang from homes like lights

The devil gripping my soul
Refusing to let go
Dragging me to my grave

Walking through flames
Hells walls consuming me

Hearing nothing but screams
Of pain
Knowing I've no faith left to give me strength

Falling to my knees
Struggling to rise again

With the devil's touch
Welcoming the darkness
Marked by him for all time

The devil's arms begging
For my soul

Fires of hell burning my flesh
Looking up to see nothing

All eternity lost to me

I’m drowning, I can’t breath
Locked in a cage
Forced into chains
Losing control without choice

At the surface a masquerade
A mask of happiness
Nothing as it seems

Patience for freedom wearing thin
Into non existence
A person of perfection
A deception

I’m snapping the cage
Breaking the chains
Becoming me and not what you want

Freedom on the other side
A door filled with truth
The sun and clouds shining
With magic

The surface of a mirror
Not judging me
As you do

The mask falling off
A masquerade coming to a close
Taking power
Taking control

Another side of my self
The real me
No more pretend

Take me as I am
Or I walk away

Now is my time
Now it’s my path not yours
Ill change even if you don’t
Want me too

This is me
The real me
Take it or leave it
I don’t care

The chains are gone
The cage broken

By scarlet rose

Grasping onto a shooting star
A galaxy of time to pass
To make the torment lesson
A mystery that hides the sins

A wound that seems everlasting
A different anguish every day
Need someone to know
All of it seeming eternal

All this misery that surrounds me
The wings of a free spirit captive
No one to tell me that we can be free
Even as the world harmonizes

Looking for a freedom from my consciousness
From my body
To live without a fiscal from
Just so all the despair fades

The world comes back into view
And the torture begins again
Everything the same
Nothing changing

A life that seems stolen
A place that does not belong to me
Desperation to find an answer
To see the pain all end
