Hidden Reflection

Walking up to a crystal clear mirror
Someone else appears to be looking at me
Who has been with me ever since I can remember

The mirror I look at shows the outside
Why can't I see the inside of myself
A person I haven't even met before

If I look deep enough into the mirror
Maybe I will see the person inside
Who helps guide me through my life

Face of the Tiger

Hungry for the prey in the night
The tiger is invisible behind the unknown
Slowly approaching his prey undetected

An innocent animal having done nothing wrong
The eyes of the tiger never look back
He knows what he wants for the night

The expression on his face seems harsh and cruel
Hurting an innocent animal for his appetite
The helpless animal has nowhere to run anymore

Confusion Within The Mind

Has today been a day where I should be glad
Or has it suddenly turned into feelings that make me sad

My greatest memory appears to come in then fade out
I never been able to figure what this mystery is all about

Can I have this memory stay with me to the end
Will it come to a certain point where it appears to bend

Once in a while I will think on my own
About the memory that has barely been shown

Silent Truth

I can see the truth with it's infinite light
Shining through the darkest night
Becoming pure in it's own way
Never trying to become astray

Sometimes the truth does not speak at all
Never telling us that we will fall
Although we rise again and feel
The truth is always there and real

Listening to the truth may open our eyes
Catching us by an unexpected surprise
The truth is spoken again
And will never fail to end

Pain In Honesty

Being honest can help people
And correct the lies that were told

There are not always positive outcomes of the truth
Negative outcomes will come out at certain times

As soon as the truth is revealed to the recipient
They may release their tears and pain

Telling the truth is never that easy
Especially when you know what may happen

Considering whether or not the truth shall come out
Can make it easier than saying it without thinking

Prism of Winter

The sun begins to slowly rise
Into the soft pastel colors of morning

A beautiful sunrise starts a story of winter
Beginning with the sun spreading it's rays of light

The snow is starting to fall in the light of the sun
Falling as light as soft white feathers

Spreading through the bright glow from the sun
An enormous arch spreads through the sky with many colors

This colorful arch adds a beautiful scene to the sky
A rainbow called the Prism of Winter

Wilted Flower

I can't forget a face
The face which made my flower grow
Blooming without the need of rain
Or the warm light of the sun

I can't forget those spoken words to me
Words I tried to ignore
Making my flower react to the way I do
With me, I was shedding tears, my flower, falling apart

I can't erase the words from my mind
My tears pour more, making it hard to breathe
The flower you gave me is withering slowly
Not long from now, it will wilt and never bloom again

Secrets In My Mind

Many secrets have lurked in my mind
For years I have told no one around me
Into my mind a door where they hide
And a lock on it that won't let anyone in

The only one to pass through is myself
I have the key to open the lock to my secrets
No one will ever hear the secrets that I hide
There is one thing that I will reveal

I will say that I never have revealed my true self
My real identity lies within myself
Afraid to come out and take over me
Letting everyone see who I really am in life

A Lonely Star

Looking out into a black velvet sky so high
All directions are filled with bright lights
Everyone of them shining with their white glow
Only to find a little star on its own

I gazed at that star and could understand how it feels
To be on its own and be different but still real
It may not be seen by the other stars
Who are in the galaxy so far

The little stars all shine bright to me
However, the littlest star is all I want to see
It's flickering light so peaceful and feeling glad
No longer can I see it look so sad

Dancing Fire and Shattering Ice

A dream begins in a silent forest
I begin to wander around to find my way
The air unexpectedly goes hot and dry
Light from the sun quickly fades

With no light to guide me back home
My fears begin to grow within mind
Suddenly a wall of fire grows in my path
Slowly dancing it's way in every direction

Before my fears turned into nightmares
Water from the lake had broken free from the ice
And made its way to the walls of fire
Where the fire had surrendered to the cold
Letting the water freeze into the ice and shattering into the flame
