Battle of the Mind

There is this moment right now

that I do not know what to do or how

I am lost in my own mind

and swirly around are thoughts of every kind

some happy some sad

some good and some bad

some that lift me with hope

and some that shove me down the slope

I am trying to bring out the good and the right

but the dark ones cloud me like the dead of night

in my mind I am in a battle with myself

and I know that it cannot be good for my health

I am saying to myself come on good side you can win

and trying to defeat the evilness and sin

my mind is like a battlefield raging with power

and it has been going like this for days and many an hour

it seems as thought the bad side has more strength and will win

but then a strange thing starts to begin

the words of truth and what is right

comes out from the dark night

they come as though a flurry of luminous glow

and the goodness it will most definitely show

it wipes away the darkness in one swift rush

and the raging war turns into a soft gentle hush

suddenly everything is clear and beauty is here

and now darkness shall stay far and light near

The Material Things

The world has evoked a change

one that seems oh so strange

suddenly the world controls our thoughts

and we are encouraged to cast lots

the world suddenly controls us all

from politics to ads in the mall

how we are suppose to find out who are

if what defines us is our car

we say yes to the world and all of its ways

while in our minds it forever stays

telling us what to do and what to buy

when all of it is just one big lie

the movies, the music, the things that make us smile

will all be gone in a short while

what we base our lives upon

in a flash will be gone

suddenly the world around us will fall apart

and that is when we will see who was smart

we will see who put their trust in the things that will fade

or if they gave their all  in the friendships and great relationships they made

because the ones who have chosen to take life as it is

are going to be the ones that live

they will be the ones who will stand in the end

while a happy life the others will pretend

they will be the ones who stand over us all

while casting down a shadow so tall

although they will not boast

that they choose the things that matter most

we will all know that the ones on the ground

are lower than the rest all around

so do not put your trust

in things that in time will rust

do not put your faith in the material things

cause only pain this brings

put your faith in those who can sustain it

and love in those who can maintain it

only in doing this will we prevail

while the rest of the world will fail

The Mountain

I am standing on this mountain so high

And all that surrounds me is sky

The earth and the ground are nowhere near

And the cries of the world I cannot hear

I am in my place where nothing can take me away

And here I want to forever stay

Where I can see all that is below

And on the very peak the fresh winter snow

I know that I have my life down there

But its just so nice to stop and not have a single care

I wish I could stay up here and forget the world and all its mess

And then my worries would become less and less

I could rest for more than just a few days

And see the sunrise and set and its brilliant rays

Everything would shine with beauty

But I know that I have other duties

I know that others are counting on me

And that I cannot just leave

It is not only a duty but a life that I want to live

And to complete my mission to others I must give

So I go down from the mountain and remember its glory

And I can tell others my story

I will go back some day

But for now here I must stay

Consolation

To cry and to whimper in our sorrows

while it seems only pain our heart borrows

those days that you lose a friend and part of you dies

and when it feels like your soul is filled with unending cries

these are the days that we fear the most

and that about no one can ever boast

these are the times when we say to one another

since we are all in pain, lets comfort each other

even though we may be feeling our own hurt

our friends we do not choose to desert

we stick by each other all throughout the day

even if there is nothing to say

the days when it seems like the world will end

our hearts our friends seem to mend

we hope that they will be there in our pains and in our tears

and when holds us is our fears

you desire to feel better

but deep inside you feel like a long lost letter

yet in our times of despair

our friends really do care

A New Quest

So many days I have lived the same

never even knowing what I might lose or gain

day after day along the same trail

not becoming stronger nor  frail

just going the same way

and the same things I still say

but today will be different I will change

although it may seem sudden and strange

I will do something heroic and good

and make an example for all who should

and then  after this day of a new way

I will live differently the next day

not like how it was before

just a simple bore

but living an adventure whenever I can

even if I dont have some intricate plan 

I will live my days how they appear before my eyes

even if it means that at the end of the day my poor soul cries

It will be a quest that will make my life anew

and so this I must go do

The Path

I am walking down this path of my life

and I know that this will not be my last strife

I know that I have a mission that I must succeed

and that many others I must lead

There have been many people who have told me so

but can never tell me which path to go

everyone says you will do great things

but where on earth will I do these things

I want to know what plans are set out for me

and so then I can live my life accordingly

I need to know what path to take

so that a mess of my life I do not create

why cant a sign just appear

instead of shedding so many tears

we always want to know which path to go down

instead of searching all around

we do not want to face the hardship and pain

even though an experience we will gain

we want to cower from what our lives will become

and have someone just tell us, someone, anyone

just to know and to not have to try and try

and to not face the pains that make our hopes run dry

but we cannot just have it handed to us

it is something that becomes of us

it defines who we are and who we will become

and we are different from everyone

we must choose the path we must take

even though we may make many mistakes

and we will see from our acts and our ways

if we have gone the right ways

The Brewing Storm

The rain starts with the slight drizzle from the sky

and it falls into the corner of your eye

it then starts to come down in a rush

and creates a sounds similar to a hush

it begins to fall harder and harder to the ground

and things are becoming damp all around

Then it comes down with a fierce might

and the dark clouds make it seem as though it was night

until there is a flash lightning and thunderous roar

and the rain is not just a simple hush anymore

it is now a growing noise that pierces the air

and it makes everyone stop and stare

like the crack of a whip and the flash of fear

you can hear the noise coming near

the wind starts to run its waves through the trees

and tosses and turns the fallen leaves

the light gentle rain has been replaced

by a storm that non dare to face

it goes on for so long

like a never ending song

then as quick as it began it seems finish

and the rain and wind slowly diminish

the storm has finished at last

and now it seems that all of it is in the past
