Renewed Hope The world as beautiful as it appears, tried to take me down Because I wouldn’t conform Unclear of the path spun for me, traces of my spirit floating up Can you see? All things close were affected No time to object just to hold my mind together. Each raging wind stronger than the former, But this seemed to become normal, Only minutes, seconds to comfort myself. Hope is needed, but hard to grasp. I’m in a battle to forget the past, struggles, misunderstandings, physical attacks. Renewed hope will bring joy back, to my heart to my mind. To a different time, at the moment I presently own. Thank God the challenges of life have not taken my soul.
A Dream Scene What is a dream Is it a vision or sudden blare Or an imaginary stare Am I conscious and awake Or dreaming of images that are fake How real can it be I’ll decide in a minute I’m dreaming of thoughts on one can hear Only if I choose to share Viewing lights and angels that glow How far will this dream go Sometimes we escape to a faraway planet Even our minds can’t handle it Invisible to the eyes There are no rules to the dreamscape ride A team has come like a sunbeam ray Begging for me to play Sweating, shaking, awaked by my scream Who lives inside my dreams
