The moment you worry
About the days which are gone
You create the current warry
About what you couldn't control
Warry is a slick word

I searched for your name
I searched for the famous
words of your own oppression
to learn a valuable lesson
of why you are yourself

I searched for your name
I searched for explanations
and recommendations of whom
you admire to know, whom you
aspire to be for yourself and others

I searched for your name
I searched. For what pertains
to a complicated mind
if I can't understand my own rhymes
for myself?

No. I searched for your breath
I searched for the air in your lungs,
the restless fuel waiting upon your tongue
so that I my breathe and feel
the reality that truly is surreal
in the brilliantly mind within you.

Tomorrow breaks along the horizon
But its faraway, still
There’s time for the darkness to grow
But oh what light it holds.

It’s a wide world we live in
The stars in the sky
Painted with the permanence of impermanence
Blot out the unforgiving,
Unfeeling
Nature that holds them in place.

But they’re just projected fossils
On a screen that floats above our heads.
Their sparkle only a reminder of their struggle
To live until the sunlight fades again.

Tomorrow grows stronger
Waves break along the shore of my mind.
The ocean is vast,
But float long enough,
I’ve come to realize,
And you’ll always find land.

I used to only use the stars to navigate
The harsh light of the sun
Burning away the map they set out for me.

Now I grit my teeth and welcome it
It doesn’t burn as much anymore.

Ocean is deep
Sky is high
Land is wide
You merges 3 of them

Talking to you is like drowning deeper than the ocean
Walking with you is like flying higher than the sky
Loving you is wider than the land
You are a dream world to every man in this world

Things that I love about you that you don't realize
Every move that you make that made it most valuable steps
Every smile that you made is a little piece of heaven for my eyes
Everything in you that made me fell to deep for you, My Love.

Oh but a haze.....

A fog, a blow
Oh but a weariness.......

Oh but a fallacy. A curse.
Unless embraced, unless held with care.

The haze can confuse,
Lose you....
The haze, is hanging angel, a shining curse.
If torment will come -- you can allow it to.
If the haze is taken slowly, it can caress you.

There is nothing but freedom and madness.
There is nothing but darkness and pure light.

At the harbor, the docks shake and anchor.
But out at sea there is nothing to guide you.....

And the haze can be the meaning you put.
The winds will blow the direction you gear.
And the haze can be nothing but a story you tell it.

My eyes open wider
My shoulders drop to my chest
When I simply survey the beautiful September sunset
I am alive
And colored like this
The inner sky
Painted that same old orange and salmon
Which no palette can describe
Pretty sight

brain enters,
stage left
the plot
running amuck in the crowd.
You can see the
dramatic irony
on their
faces.
It;s clear she
doesn't know her
part, or lines
it is obvious
she is
saying things she
thinks the
crowd
would want to hear.
And though
it is a prose
she does not recognize
she knows that
she has practiced
it
already.
feeling lost and fake.

There’re are two paths going opposite ways
People travel these paths every day
The first path leads to a place of tears
people who take this path, reflect death like a mirror
Guilt haunts them when they do wrong
The memory of their sin creates a mournful song
People say you can do whatever you please, they say, “Come over here, join us!”
But a wise person knows down that path, people give into their lust
Most people who follow this path, don’t see the dangers around them, But those who truly believe in Christ can see through the fog
For they are the ones pulled out of the miry bog
                                                            The second path is thin and narrow
It is thinner than a golden arrow
There are very few who find this path
Those of the world look and laugh
This is the path that leads to life
It is full of danger, hardship and strife
There are trials on this path, it won’t be easy
But that gives no excuse, like the rabbit to be lazy
What’s so great about this path is that someone cares for you when you fall
Through the church, He sends out his gospel call  
He is all holy, powerful, and merciful
He is Author of the universe, and Creator of all the people
You must be born again through his holy Son
Who died on the cross – the victory won!

With your van shoes on,
And hair flows down,
\with your eyes wide open,
when no one is around , what did you do do do do do do do?

High hopes on ten,
just walking down a street,
and your head held high,
when no one is around , what did you do do do do do do do?

My eyes are open,
The world is flawed.
The feelings held on,
It broke apart.
Wondering where I am,
Ya lookin' too hard.
Running away from a past that has you scarred,
Weakened stated that has a fate,
Don't let another human **** you in every way,
Don't let another man in this world invade your space,
Fearlessness is unlimited in this here mind,
Don't let a failed relationship just leave you blind,
Your energy , the soul , the time,
Don't let them ever take your shine,
Cause in this life here,
Problems​ become your problems and everyone just hides,
If you decide that life isn't that hard,
If you reside under a man that's in the stars,
We give what we take,
Live life in the first place,
Because we all gotta die anyway so,


Put your van shoes on,
And hair flows down,
\with your eyes wide open,
when no one is around , what did you do do do do do do do?

High hopes on ten,
just walking down a street,
and your head held high,
when no one is around , what did you do do do do do do do?
