Revisit
An unspun lesson left unlearnt taps upon my door. He’s dressed in rags, dressed in black, dragging bodies on the floor. I wonder why I had to go, why I left him there before.

A Soldier's Wife
It’s not that I don’t love you And it’s not that I don’t care It’s that sometimes I have to turn away From the pain pooling in your stare.

Boundless
Deep inside my passion hides an eternal flame I cant describe for your beauty I do adore but owning your heart means even more. You are my blessing my dream come true, just like the sun I will always brighten your day, I need you like the flowers need the rain, is there anything more that i need to say. Our destiny is written engraved in the stars its me an you forever no matter the size of the storm. As the sea rages beating at my heart I take one look at you an the pain all stops, in my future I know two things are certain I will continue living with you by my side and I have no reason no reason to run an hide.

Angels and Demons
It starts with a thought an idea in our minds about what happens when we have left this world behind. Do we ascend to the gates of gold or do we climb down to the stories untold, are we destined for heaven or hell no one knows but have to wait to see what unfolds. We long to reach far above the heavens to live in paradise with all those who have gone before us but the reality of it all is not all of us make it some of us fall, we are pinned with the stone of our mistakes for most of us pray to be something great but fall short due to misguidance in our past and let the snake show you wrath. for the others who live so pure when you get there the doors will slowly open showing you everything for you have been chosen.

I was moss but you were a dandelion yellow. He was your Forrest fire turning your yellows to brown just from sight, as I sit stuck on my rock above you having to witness the damage being done.

Mother
It's easy to compare her to the Heavens. The sky corresponds to her disposition. The illustration of the sun rising translates her mood to a warm uplifting glow, while the sun setting sets off a dreary tone. Her beauty is much like the moon; a bright light glistening in the void of darkness surrounded by the meek grace of the other stars. Her love is similar to the wind, you can feel its touch but it remains concealed. She's to be described as nothing less than the Heavens; mysterious, unknown, and beautiful.

Going Home
Dirt, sand, gravel, tar roads and rivers, slowly winding trails clouds, winds, stirring grass, tasks mountains full of beauty, and tracks
