Back down to the farm

Guidance of the Wind God

We can't contol destiny.
Ignorance can't save us now.
Don't look back,
   or you'll start to remember
   what you've tried to forget.
The desert so vast and desolate
It's inviting arms are only
   a trick
Who can we trust
   out here where there's
   only those who don't care?
We listen to the voice of
   the wind that will take our soul.

Children of the Earth

Look, my family
   we are all children
   of the Earth;
Lest we should fight
   any longer,
Grant us peace,
   and understanding.
The power lies within us,
   the decision is ours.
We cannot attain this
   future alone,
Forging new bonds,
   that may seem difficult.
Listen to the etherial
   sounds of our elders,
Close your eyes,
   and let the vision
   be your guiding light.

A Promise

Though i sometimes can be wrong,
   though other say i'm strange...
I can only try to live up to
   my promises,
   like the one to never leave your side.
Times have tested my soul,
   my heart has bled worse than ever,
but i still remain,
   ever watchful,
here to calm your
   aching soul....

my heart

written for eliza warfield
Her heart glistens like the
   morning sun over the winter field;
I ache to see her image -
   warm my heart by her voice.
She has stolen my heart, and
   i thought that not possible.
The air so sweet,
   the days are like no others.

Planet Evil

A rush of wind - a sound of silence.
Trees bend to and fro -
   as if waving to some supernatural
     creature.
Gastly figures only turn out to be
   the smallest woodland creature.
Our mind is only playing tricks on us.
People can do the strangest things -
   make others wonder -
     if they're even from the same planet.

fulfillment

Trapped in a mindset
  that we can't let go of.
we would have reason to believe
  after much reasonable doubt.
Expect to fail, and fulfill that
  prophecy to a degree...
Ironic how we aim to change
  but we stay in the exact
  same lane.
