The Arrow to my Heart

His words like wood and stone.
His anger carves an arrow.
His voice the bow to deliver.
His pain the drawn-back string.
His shattered trust lets go.

The arrow to my heart,
One for which I asked for.
His love thrown back at him,
His soul to shreds, I tore.

Growing to Understand

Aqua,
Terra,
Aero,
Cosmic,
Life progresses,
Never still,
Life goes on,
As long as there's will.

Earth will survive,
Life will expand,
The Universe inhabited,
By creatures of this land.

Forever exploring,
Our limits and boundaries,
With none in view,
We will always feel free.

From Aqua,
To Terra,
With Aero,
and Cosmos,
We started so small,
And so insignificant,
Only to grow,
And embrace what is different.

With wars waging, and flooding blood,
A Human can still stop, and look to the mud,
To take his enemy's hand, and help him to his feet,
And continue on, with heart not skipping a beat.

The only thing more infinite than the Universe;
Is Human Benevolence.

Heaven's Kiss

Resonating joy,
Harmonic bliss,
Voices wash over me,
A Heavenly kiss.

Hundred hearts,
Sing as one,
With souls of beauty,
Woven with tongue.

The song of joy,
The gates to bliss,
Within the notes,
Of Heaven's kiss.
