The  war raged on
All fighting alongside
Men fell wherever I looked
No matter what their side

Blood flowed like water
Bodies all around
I slew the last enemy
Triumphantly, looked around

***** enemies lay together
All embracing the final rest
None answered my victorious cry
And none was left to mourn

When I heard the peaceful silence
A dread settled on me
As I looked at the battlefield
I knew I was the only living among the dead
I was the lone survivor

Most of us are blind
Going on with our lives
Sticking to hectic schedules
Not bothering to look

Nature hums melodies
All around us
The wings of a butterfly
The fragrance of a flower opening

You might want to ask
"Why should we look?"
Let me answer this, my dear friend
By asking you a question

Why do we live?
We live to look
We live to marvel
We live to listen to nature's tunes

Yet do we?
It is pleasant to just look
At all the beauty in this world
That is why our heart beats
And that is something we should do

The warmth in your heart
A little spark of joy
No matter how dark the days
Or how lonely the times
The feeling arises from
A thought that
You are loved by someone you Love

A huge glowing ball of heat
Collapsed due to gravity
Pulled and pushed, till the ashes were scattered
The only remnants of what was once great

Yet a foe may be a friend to another
Gravity pulled together the ashes
Calling the fragments back
To build with the remains

They spun and spun
Fast merging
Until they formed a spinning star
Which was born from the ashes

Everything was spinning,
Churning, Turning,
Glowing like the Milky way
As bright as the night sky
As light ran around

Everything being pulled in
Barely managing to stay out
Sprinting in circles
Forever and ever,
Not being able to break away

And in the center
Lay the giant ogre
Leached of all light
Forever hungry
Always devouring
Never stopping

Rushing through space and time,
A seed fell where none could see it pine
It longed for fresh earth, like the opening to a door
Was it too much to ask for?
It thought as it lay in the dark

Just as it had gave up hope
When it could not cope
A wind came up carrying it
It flew farther and farther to finally sit
Upon what it had longed for

It grew, and grew, and grew
To call it short, would be untrue
So much it had changed
From that seed, in a little body caged
To a huge tree

Tall and glorious it stood
Supporting all the life it could
It was like a parent to all
Until it gave birth to seeds small
And it realized that it had produced life of its own

A proud forest was cut down
To give way to a temple
None did mourn
As they built and assembled

Yet the face never came right
For no matter who shaped the main sight
No matter how much they tried
The idol never smiled

The huge temple was opened, shining bright
Bringing pilgrims from over the world, to this place
Yet the frowning idol did not generate light
And as the time passed, the temple was forgotten

The grass and creepers flourished
In this abandoned place, trees left seeds
The plants occupied the temple, now finally in bliss
The creepers and plants touched the idol's feet
And it finally smiled
