Socialized at birth,
We are taught to have it all,
That humans are king, as powerful as God,
But with this state of mind,
We are surely to fall,
It's only when you open your eyes,
You see we are everything, and nothing at all.
A leaf on a tree is just the same,
We all come from dust,
Stop living in vain.

We have to realize as humans, that we have no more importance than any other creature or living thing on this planet. I used a leaf as an example to really emphasize the importance of this idea. We all live on this planet together, we all depend on the health of this planet in the same way. As humans, however, We have a self proclaimed sense importance that leads us to negatively affect everything around us; This can be seen clearly through the unhealthy human behavior of pollution, deforestation, etc. I can say with confidence, however, that everyday people are not entirely responsible for these acts. The wood that fuels the fire, is money and greed, not at all hidden by large corporations that disregard anything and everything to obtain power. Now the sad realization is that these very corporations control our lives by only handing out enough money to live within their grasp and without power. It's with this lack of power in which we believe that we can do nothing at all, except live how we are told, but together we can make a difference.... Together we can change it all.

A heart that Bleeds

There’s no need for words,
For the love in his heart says it all,
As the sailor sets to sail
She patiently waits for the falls,
Over the falls this ship will go,
With a heart falling deeper in love,
Uncaring of the obvious danger,
The ship continues to fall.
Breaking into a million pieces,
The ship becomes no more,
But the heart of the loving young sailor, slowly washes ashore. Battered but not all broken,
The heart begins to crawl,
For the love that it’s been wanting,
Is surely not far at all.
Struggling along the shoreline, the heart begins to bleed,
But for a heart with this much love,
The end is worth the blood that leaves.
Reaching the end of his journey, the heart finds his love worthy of the fall, sure that his love will heal the damage, the heart has no worries at all.
Now Contently in love, the heart opens the cuts even more, showing every wound until it can show no more. Needing his love the most now, he desperately waits to be healed, but in one short moment, the love fought so hard for becomes concealed.
What appears before him now, is a heart made of stone, colder than the waters the ship sat with below. Smashing down on him, the heart can take no more, for the pain of this lost love hurt more than the trip he endured.
Barely beating, the heart crawls back to his own shore, to heal all alone, until the day he can take the trip once more.

A poem that came to me in the shower, while thinking about my love.

A final Farewell

Over the hills,
I will fly,
Amongst the wind I will reside,
On a warm summer day,
I might pass you by.
But never again.
Never again,
Will we be intertwined,
And with this I say my goodbye,
To a wonderful love of my life,
If you ever get lonely,
Just look to the sky,
and I promise you my dear,
My love will kiss your heart with a smile,
Farewell,
My sweetest love of all.

A poem for the love of my life.
