The echoes of Winter are fading from
view,
Softly, time whispers, out with the old,
make way for the new,
The sun is shining bright, and the sky
is blue,
Let’s get ready to embrace the gentle
Spring breeze and start anew.
Gardens and open fields are buzzing
with change,
Watered by Winter’s snow, rising from
the rich soil are bulbs and seeds of the
hopes we did sow,
Rows and rows of Daffodils, Tulips and
Bluebells, neatly arranged,
A vibrant sight of Spring blooms
a gardener's delight in watching
them grow.
Birds are singing sweet songs,
The Rivers are flowing freely,
and rabbits are dancing, oh, what
a beautiful show,
So let’s join in the Spirit of Spring,
throw our worries into the last of the
melting snow, and watch them simply
just go.

Dawn'd 'Pon Me Due Epiphany...
Mine War~Ravaged Heart, 'Tis Fine'ly Set Free!
Tho' Still Care I Hold Fast, For All Of This Earth...
I Must Give Way Th' Labor, That Now Has Begun Mine Rebirth!
Indignation Of Mine Past, Now Dissolved 'Way Devoid...
So From Now On 'Ny Negative, I Most Surely Must Avoid!
If Seeing Th' SON, Doesn't Shine 'Pon Thy Intention...
Rest Assured Thou Shalt Pay Forward, For ALL Thy Nefarious Inventions!
Mercy I've Been Granted, As Well Covered By Grace...
Protected By Full Armor, 'Ven An Mere Chink There's No Trace!
Living Dead Mine Whole Life, Psyche & Sinew Snapped 'Til Broken...
'TWAS 'TIL OUR'N MASTER, T'WARD ME WITH AN SHOUT SPOKE;

My friends, it is a dismal thing
At such an hour to pound and ring!
Let others shiver if they must,
I shall not greet a sky of rust!
Let first the air be half so warm
As in this covered nest I form.
And then, perhaps, if need of it,
I’ll lift an eye, and half-way sit.

The dark has awakened it has open his eyes from the sleep
Void it wonders explosion light has heat
Fluorescent form a brilliant host
It it has opened his eyes from its sleep
God speaks he has spoke
fluorescent form a brilliant host
Not darkness sleeps God speaks he has spoke
Voided wonders explosion light has heat
Now the darkness sleeps
The light has awakened

I know I'm close.I feel it
Now awoken I can see
It coats my tongue I taste it
Almost unbound almost free
I'm slipping off my shackles
Steps from the finish line
I fight, I push, I run to it
I'm taking back what's mine
For so long I've been buried
Six feet under, couldn't breathe
I dug that grave, I shoveled it
My tomb of mediocrity
I'm clawing my way out of it
These mounds of banal dirt
Alive again, revived, reborn
A participant on earth
Must keep going don't look back
There's nothing there to see
Just fragments of my poser shell
This skin is real, it's me

Argh!
Damn phone alarm.
I gulp haste.
I open my school app - like an eyelid.
Invade my sanctuary, virtual tyranny.
Where's my focus?!
*looking around for my coffee cup*
I feel like a bobble-head.

Through the hazy skies
Of this hot summer morning,
I can see your smile
Even if only imagined,
It spreads rays of hope
Between rolling storms
And clapping thunder
Your kindness is always clear
Bringing a return of calmness
To feel with every raindrop
Awoken, I am

Your nightmare awoken
In daylight you scream

One curse washes clean,
Your blessings defaced

Waiting for the day love floats my way
Hoping for one that is here to play
So many gone by in the past
The further it seems I have to cast
Looking for love that won't surpass
One that can fly without having to crash
Giving it my all
Really wanting to hear the right call
Taking my time being sure not to fall
tearing down this massive wall
That has things coming to a crawl
I'm in it for the long haul
Breaking through this windfall
Plunging forward wanting to recall
A love that stands ten feet tall
One that leads straight for fun
That won't make us feel under the gun
Something beautiful that feels like we have won
Our eyes wide open
Making sure I am scoping
All the opportunities that I have awoken
Hoping the next lady can see
How much my love flows free
That will help us define
A love that will fall right in time
One that I can keep as all mine
A woman who is kind that wants to find
That thrill that makes time stand still
Making us both feel like this is the real deal
Love that brings stars to our eyes
That looks like a beautiful sunrise

Could it be possible,
all i see is an illusion?
Notice all of the confusion.
Nonetheless lies and intrusion.
I must fight them to live my own life.
I must stay sharp, like a steak knife.
There very well may never be a physical bruise-
to what importance of standards would it mean;
to win or to lose.
We are quick to demonize insanity,
however, uphold the usage of inanity;
when we know the similarity shared between us all,
is the want to be free-
can we agree?
There is insanity in us all-
the capability to quickly rise and fall.
I control the eyes of I,
to create my desired reality;
or at least try.

I am awoken,
By the idea of greatness.
I am unable,
To sleep until greatness comes.
The work that precedes,
Daunting is the path I chose.
I am most hungry,
With a competitive flame,
That won't waver in the wind.

Knee based bouncing
Cheeky giggle growling
Foot happy stamping
Careful mad stepping
Item violent shaking
Kicking, kissing, cuddling
Body popping carrying
Face rubbing
Wall slapping and wiping
Scalp rubbing
Dangerous exploring
Into the collar shallow groping
Two finger mouth poking
One finger eye poking
Innocent elbow stabbing
Strange noise drunk singing
Unclear narrating
Stair bumping
Morning yawning
Open space trotting
Naughty strategic manipulating
Happy cries, quiet bubbling
Crawling bumping
Laughter exploding
All within five minutes of waking

Lost deep into the moonlight awoken by words blowing in the mist
life is going by so fast so say what must be said before the time is amiss
Starry skies with lost meanings into the deep dark blue depths
Time is a passing so do whatmust be done before there is none left

Once upon a time.
I went running back to it,
Probably not the brightest idea,
Straight through the glass that was left there,
Shattered, battered, and now broken.
I was left in a dazed, hazen dream,
And now I'm awoken,
Broken, awoken, i want to toke,
Watch all the pain go up in smoke,
And pretend that one day you'll be able to stroke,
You're fingertips through the broken glass,
The memories can become reality a'lass,
And everything can hit me way too fast.
Like a dream, I'll watch you dissipate in front of me,
Just like before, my eyes will rain in the same old place,
As I'm running away again, fading, fading; there you go again.
