Sparkling Bits of Ice

The wind gently howls through the air
And the sun shines brightly through the grey clouds

Leaves have fallen off the trees
Their branches are moving along with the wind

As time slowly comes to the sunset in the sky
The colors from its glow begin to spread all around

The sunset has faded from the sky at a slow rate
The moon begins to wake up from its long slumber

Night has filled the spaces all over the sky
With the stars scattered around with their bright light

Midnight has arrived and the moon glows brightly
Sparkling bits of ice slowly fall from the sky

The Mysterious Unknown

Ten feet under deep blue water
Voices call out to me
Only to my surprise
They fade as I go deeper

I look at my life at the ocean's floor
As if it were trying to push me to my own limit
My closed eyes slowly waking to what I have done
Realizing I need to correct the mistakes I made

Reaching the ocean floor
All my strength has pushed me away
From the fate I was trying to ignore
Five feet underwater now

As I swim to the surface
Every lie and ounce of pain haunt my memories
I caused them to happen to me
My life will turn away from the mysterious unknown
For the final time

Regretting The Past

Everyday I wonder if the choices I made were right
Reliving those times in my memories
Over and over until I doubt my reasons why

Nothing can stop me from going in the future
Or change what I'll do that very second in the present
My choices can not even take me back to the past

I never understand why everything doesn't change when it happens
Allowing me another chance to correct my mistakes
Without looking back into the past that I sometimes will despise

Though I can't change how things happen in my life
Why is it hard to change what I have already done
Reliving the day and changing the future

Growth of a Rose

A rose has been planted in it's place
Waiting to begin it's life as a beautiful flower

A shower of rain falls on the rose
Awakening the rose from it's long slumber

Beneath the ground where this flower is planted
It's roots have started to grow out from the rain

Soon the rain has stopped and the sun shines
The warmth of the sun's rays help the rose grow

Seeing the bright rays shine from it's source
The rose begins to reach out to the sky

Finally escaping the cold dark place the flower was in
It has at last faced the bright world for the first time
Revealing it's beauty and experiencing the feeling of pure happiness

Light Beyond the Door

A place where I have found answers ahead
Turning back will only give me more questions and doubts

With my thoughts cleared from my mind once clouded I move on
Confident of answers leading me to a different path

Many stairs stretch toward the top with no sight of the end
Ignoring the frustration in my thoughts I will start toward the top

With each step I took towards the top I felt tiresome
Using the strength I had left I was able to move forward

Almost all the strength I have is depleted
I was forced on my hands and knees until I could move again

Just when I was about to lose consciousness
I see a blinding light beyond a door to begin my journey

The Picture and the Mirror

I lie awake in the night
Beginning to picture the mirror in one piece
I was never alone in the glass
Just me and you, side by side

Times back then we laughed and smiled
Our eyes never looked away to another person
Even though we weren't in love
A strong bond began to strengthen the mirror

As the last few days of the bond came to an end
Small cracks spread through this mirror with the picture
A picture without a frame stays strong
As well as the friendship we will forever have

The last day has come with no notice
Our last face-to-face conversations came to a stop
My mirror shatters and falls before my eyes
At least the picture of our friendship remains with no tears
