Solace

 

The heart knows what the heart wants
Every minute, it’s promises ceaselessly taunts
Peace permeating every cell
Calm nurturing every swell

The deepest character unchanged
My soul cannot be rearranged
The longing for solace remains

The desires of the heart denied
Every structure contrived
Solace unseen
Tension continually mounting
Endlessly bounding & hounding

I must remain believing
I must rise above
Grasp peace like a dove
And soar like an eagle
Readying for battle

Pain is my constant companion
In my ear, always naggin’
About the deficits in my life
Of the ripping, relentless strife

Even still, the thirst cannot be quelled
The desires deep inside, continually yelled
Truth and honor must be upheld

The desires of the heart denied
Every structure contrived
Solace unseen
Tension continually mounting
Endlessly bounding & hounding

I must remain believing
I must rise above
Grasp peace like a dove
And soar like an eagle
Readying for battle

Until Solace is Won
Solace will be Won
Solace & I Will Be One

No Conversations

 

Speak, Though No One is Hearing
Write, Though No One is Reading
Create, Though No One is Viewing
Converse, Though No One is Being

Press On
Move Forward
Run Toward
Keep On Keepin’ On
The Writing is On The Wall
In The Shadows Big & Tall

No Conversations
The deaf are dumb
And the dumb are many
Even in the land of good and plenty

No Conversations
The blind are broken
The broken are bound
True Freedom is no where to be found

Look, Though No One is Seeing
Give, Though No One is Taking
Love, Though No One is Engaging
Fight, Though No One is Waking

Move On
Gaze Forward
Sights Toward
The Straight Horizon
With Battleships at Full Sail
The Great Divide will Soon Pale

No Conversations
The lame are listless
The listless are prisoners
There cease to be any warriors

No Conversations
The dead are sleeping
The sleeping are weeping
For a greater, though unbelieving, reality
