While on waking wearily peering, suddenly an image searing, Came below the gentle hill beneath in which a lady lass, Seeming to be picking flowers near the still and sloping pass, Such radiance unsurpassed. Yet the dreamer upon waking, quickly felt an evil quaking, Grasping clasping his dream taking, quickly quashing thoughts and store. For e’en that image of that lass, dreaming dreams are by hourglass, And through dreams will come to pass that idle thoughts are all too poor. For that gallant grand of greatness by that dream it did out pour, Will be lost forever more. __________ +if i'd known that...+ It'd take a thousand years A thousand moments A thousand hours slipping by That after a million steps A million miles a million worlds apart I'd still be: only one person for me to hear only one person for me to know only one person for me to see only one singular thing that I couldn't stand Had I known that: Winter was ever biting cold Leeching to your summer long gone Freezing your body to passive ice That self judgement would ever be so cruel Eating at thoughts of moments long ago Condemning the soul to binding chains I'd still be... The only one to carry the chain, The only one to harbor winter The only one to thus be sentenced, and still The only singular one that desides the penence If only i'd known that... Judgement could not lessen the pain, frozen heart is still has emotion biding force only makes the battle stronger I'd still be: the only one to never forget the only one to carry the thoughts, the only one to believe a dream, The only singular one to never let go. ___________ +Cruel Heart+ Deathly Cruel, Deathly Enticing, Traps all around, Knashing but unfound, Waiting to bite, Growling in the night, Darkness encasing, Ghostly phasing, Real of fake, Give and take, Hypocracy! Demacracy! I wish it might Might to light Light of Mire Mire of satire Oh i wish never part, but oh cruel heart! __________ +Enjoyment+ I once traveled to a far away land where many people proudly stand Their eyes sparkled and shone Their voice rich with tone And I pondered why There under the sky Until i just had to hear the reason just so dear "Why does your eyes sparkle and shine? Why do you seem to deserve honey and whine? Why do you laugh without a care? Tell me why, please tell and share." One answered with a laugh: "Why? Why you implore? Because we know how to soar. We are happy, filled with joy Because achievement is to enjoy We are meaning filled Our life not distilled We need not escape to some tropical landscape To give meaning to our laughter All we did was go and chase after Our hopes and dreams To achieve what joy deems. And what is that you ask? Why its meaning, a meaning to every task. Be it laughing or smirking Enjoying or working The meaning is there And that's what we'll share" And i saw, that they're joy was not vain That they did not disdain But that achievement has given them joy and joy has given them achievemnt. __________ +Man of Sorrows+ I came to this village, to a small country town Where I met a sad man, a sad man looking down My mind was begging to ask Told me of a small small task. Curiosity burning My will and heart was surging To ask this lonely man What ails this sorrow man. So I said: "Man of sorrows! Man of Grief Tell me what troubles you I see your heart, I see your eyes I want to share the grief with you." At this he looked up with is dull gray eyes, As if colors in the world are not even dyes He looked long, He gazed not short into my mind where the heart held court He replied as if lifting each and heavy word, weighing and giving the perfect package: "Knowledge my friend. Knowledge of matter. Of things to do, things to say, and even of idle chatter. Of the cry of those in pain, Of the hearts of those insane, Of those inflicted with agravation, Of these in need of sanation, Listen my friend listen to me. Look around you so that you can see. Things that you do not know can't hurt, Listen and Learn Learn and Remember Remember and Know Know and Think Think and Feel Feel and Conclude Conclude and Help Help and Listen If you are afflicted and know not of pain, what would this ache be to you? If you are blind and know not sight, what would this color mean to you? If you are deaf and know not sound, what would this music mean to you? If you are cancerous, but fear not death, what would eternal mean to you? My friend knowledge can be power, knowledge can be death, Knowledge can be joyous, knowledge can be sorrow filled, Do not be so wrapped up into being not sick, that you have stopped enjoying health, Do not be so fearing of death, that you enjoy not life, Do not be so enwrapped in anti sadness, that you feel no joy, Do not be so fearing of heartbreak, that you give not love, Do not be so knowledge hungry, that you feed not your heart Do not be so fearing of isolation, that you forget the sanctity of solitude, Do not be so fearing of criticism, that you limit your creativity, Do not be so fearing of taken advantage of, that you give not a penny Do not be so fearing of whispers, that you keep no contact, Do not be so achieving for a goal, that you have neglected all that you have learned along the way, Do not be so seeing, that you find all faults, Do not be so hearing, that you hear all clatter. Do not be so afraid of showing your face, that you have forgotten it yourself. You have one life to live on this earth, why wear masks and show not your true self?" And thus he ended and I looked into his eyes once more. And I saw, that they were not dull and gray But filled with many colors and hiding much joy. So I left that place, that little village, that little town, Taking with me of understanding and wisdom, but leaving knowledge behind. __________ +My friend I come+ I hear you my friend, I hear your cry calling out to me, Hold on my friend hold on, I hear your call I will come soon, I promise Do you listen to your feelings calling out to you?

I fell alone so alone, success without joy. I'm sorry my friend. I truly am. Tell me where you are. +The Places within My Heart+ (Not one of my better ones) There within my heart lies a peaceful place Undisturbed in a magical case In silver was this case made, And in memories was this case paid. In upon the places within to dearly hold, Let me show you the memory's fold See it there, see it near, look within my heart, I see it now, I see it bow, when do the curtains part? Shhh, now, shhh. let me show you around, Look, now, look. it is what i have found. *** There you peer in within the realm, And see my history and my helm, From far far away, and away afar, There comes to you a special star, From me to you, for when we part, That lies just within your heart. +Wonders and Wisdom+ Look to the sky my friend and tell me the vastness of space, Look into the heavens and tell me its wonders Tell me, you who gaze upon the world you who knows the wonders eyes cannot even understand You who sees the mighty pegasus galloping in the heavens You who knows the woders of orion Tell me why, tell me how, tell me the mysteries of the world *** I see you there, I see you now. Gazing upon the stars I tell you now, I tell you how. Answers are not in mars I have searched and I have sought. and I have found I found why the mysteries are meant to be vague I have found why secrets are meant to be secret Let me tell you so you can understand. The things you do not know, are things that cannot harm you. *** My curiousity pushes me, my intelligence urges me Tell me my friend, tell me. For the vast seas of uranus have told me nothing The storms of jupiter wispers nothing The lights of venus have gone dim The wisdom of the trees have been hidden Tell me what do they hide? *** They hide nothing but you have not sought the right things. I will not hide anything but knowledge ruins you. And I too will be silent until the day that wisdom finds you, without knowledge beside it.
