The door lies
In front of me

Sitting, beckoning
...

A light in the dark
Safety from shadows
Fiends stand stark in the light
...

In the vast ocean that is
The singular is supreme beauty

Do not fade into the crowd
...

In sullen blues and dull greys
The stormy skies keep sailors at bay

The sea lets only the strong pass
...

Nature
Wild, old
Growing, creating, nurturing
Plants, animals, cities, people
...

A picture is worth a thousand words
Yet a moment of clarity is worth worlds

A sign of kindness builds character
...

Why must the
Killer ivy hang

Upon every branch
...

Wipe it clean
Clear the slate

Remove the thoughts
...

Would anyone miss the stupid kid
The one in the back of the room

The fat one who gets all the weird looks
...

The knights of the round table they rode out
All clad in armor bright they fight for right
Throughout the land the peasants cheer for jousts
For such a grand land they forever fight
...

War
Glorious
Warrior's might
Iron, steel, bow, arrow
...

Alone here now in this darkest of places
The voices ring inside of my head

Down in this pit light cannot survive
...

Embers I did attempt to tame
All the world would know my name

I would be forever famed
...

On Christmas day
You tag along

Of you we sing now
...

When we must part ways
As all people do in time,
For nothing lasts forever,
...

Gold is like mold

It spreads and takes hold
...

Lights, Lights, Oh Glorious Lights

The suns, the stars, and all their satellites
...

Golden youth
A goblet containing
The elixir of power
...

Fear is within us all
Fear exists in that dark patch of your mind

The one spoken of in whispers
...

The closest we can
come to understanding

Is through the lies we tell
...
