The seagulls flying low
You know that crying wail
The storm is coming on
One boat put down the sails
To sail against the odds
In hope to reach the bay
Is there an urgent load
They carry, who would say
It feels like déjà vu
Although it must be real
For sailors, not for you
And not for me, we’re still
Beside our desks, sit frozen
Watching the wheel that rolls
And then the wind blows in
Some petals have to fall..
In the desert of doubt and fear,
A flower blooms, resilient and clear.
Like this bloom, we stand tall and bright,
Nurturing our passions, through day and night.
The desert's harsh conditions test our will,
But we draw strength from our inner still.
We brave the burning sand, and weather the storm,
For our dreams are worth the desert's form.
In this arid land, we'll find our strength,
And like the bloom, our spirit will take length.
We'll strive to reach our goals, and make our dreams unfold,
And in the desert, our aspirations will bloom.
So let the desert's vastness, be our stage,
Where we'll rise above, and turn our dreams into page.
We'll walk through the fire, and emerge anew,
For in the desert's heart, our spirit will break through.
And when the journey's done, and we've made our stand,
We'll look back on the desert, with a heart full of sand.
For it was there that we found, our inner voice so bright,
And the flower that bloomed, was our spirit, shining with delight.
from up the mountaintop
the view glows
it’s so serene
and time hovers
surreal in nature
under a moon that has her eye
on all that’s calm below
the world has agreed
if only for a moment to pause
and set its differences aside

Catch me before i fall
If i fall out of line
I'm hoping you'll catch me
Will kick this habit together
I'll kiss every scar
I'll remind you of who you are
I'll take you too all those places you dreamed of
I'm here to stay
When you get
I'll hold your hand
I'll make sure you take your medicine
When the waves start to crashed harder
I'll be there to make sure
You stand strong
I'll mend your heart
I'll kiss your scars
I'll be wherever you are
I'll fight with you til the end
I'll be the villain
I'll bring the love
I'll be everything you need
I'll be there to make sure you never give up
There is a girl
In a world
Far away from here
Where no fear
Can ever be conceled.
Her irritations are followed by
cathartic absolution
And even on the most stormy of
nights,
She glistens in the invisible,
Shinning light.
Her heart;
Can see no wrong
Her eyes;
Brighter then the sun upon dawn
She is what they all strive to be
Perfectly catalized.
In the depth of the sea,
They chide and chastize
Every move she makes,
However she will never break
And time after every melancholy
time
She astonishes even the
unsurprised.
Her charismatic way,
Brings even the doomed back to
life.
Against the odds,
she's shinning
Even in the dark
While shes crying
You cant miss her spark
Like superwoman
No one can hurt her now
She shines
Returning hope back to this desolite
town.
