"Keep Hope Alive"

You burn me like ice
I thought you were gone
this has to end
this once again
shakes my world forever.

Never knowing how
or even if it's now.
Now's the time time to say the way
you hurt as much as I.

Ice burns in my heart
when did this love start.
To drive away
never fade the pain
along the burning night.

Wake in the morning to the beat of the sun
nothing we desire's ever given but won.
As it soon strives to keep hope alive
Only to fall but hope keeps us arise.

"The War We Break"...

As I was sitting at my work desk over the summer, I was listening to the song "Wavin' Flag" by K'naan and he sings about becoming something more in the world and that the fights and anger that we hold onto we only lead us to self destruction. Everyone has the ability to overcome those struggles and to set them aside in order to find a better tomorrow.

All the mystery it’s around us

Never doubting it can[‘t] stop us.

Be your hero never stopping

As the faith they always watching.

Never streaming flow to freedom

This believing not receding.

Hold your hope now slowing earths tide

Our true nature fills us inside.

Dance upon the open fields now

As the laughter fill the fields now.

As the grounds they red and writhing

So afflicted when’s the stopping?

Every child all religions

Every dream that we envisioned.

In my reach but slowly drifting

Hope is close now soon believing.

See horizons grace the mornings

Graze across her ancient sightings.

Waters shifting wrath it’s seeping

Drowns the pain out natures keeping.

All the fear that shakes the meaning

All our dreams once misbelieving.

So we go down to the rivers

Face destruction nature’s sinner.

Heroes rise to dream and wonder

Flee the air of crave and wander.

Sings her song now its growing plea

To be free her, try and stop me.
