I Stand

wings spread 

I stand

waiting to fly

free.

soon

I will soar

but not yet.

I stand.

waiting

chained

grounded

I grow

I stand.

waiting

I will fly.

I can.

I stand 

wings outstretched

arms reaching

I stand.

your beautiful

they say its true

but do you listen?

did you ever think

 to realize that

your worst criticizer can be yourself?

it doesn't matter

 what you look like, 

it all depends on whats 

within

they say your beautiful.

it's true.

a beacon in the sea

a raging squall

a torrent in the deep

darkly gather

all around me

a light in the dark

a beacon in the sea

I am not the only

though so lonly

as a beacon in the sea

I stand tall

resiliant

and remember who

I really am

a beacon in the sea

you're beautiful

they say its true,

but do you listen?

did you ever think

to realize that

you're biggest criticizer

can be yourself?

it doesn't matter 

what you look like

it all depends on whats 

within.

they say you're beautiful

its true.

Dragon

dream of fire

with death death ablaze

she soars mighty

throughout the haze

amber eyes of wisdom

set deep in emerald scales

tales of war

fables of gore

deep within

she spreads her silvered wings

and caution flings

to rule fore'r more

with a chilling roar

high she doth soar

queen to the core

Majesty and more

in the world

but never of it

forever free

forever more

if only inside

it may be

what really matters

breaking through

the clouds without

whisps of white

cover raging storms below

peacefull

regal

the heavens open,

and I see

the world below

rushing

busying

with the unimporant

never seeing

the real thing

what really matters

Some Say I'm Perfect

Some say I'm perfect.

I disagree

I make mistakes

do things incorrect

they say I'm really perfect

someday I'll prove them wrong

they say I'm perfect now

but someday, somehow

eventually they'll see

some say I'm perfect

I disagree

my place

this place is mine

where there is no foe

enemies become friends

all is different

and no one knows

and no one cares

this place is mine

where the places I cant go

come to me

this place I've never been

the place of would-be

never-was

and forgotten dreams

this place is mine.

phoenix

wings alight

tail of fire

soaring o'er the bloody mire

screaming flame

the world to maim

with death and pain

ever heard

the mighty bird

never lured

never trapped

journey though lands

never mapped

Treelight

the sunlight dapples

drifting through the wispy branches

that sway in the wind

and create a master piece

on the pine needle carpet

green and fresh,

the scent of spring

mixed with something

different

ancient, regal,

unknown yet always there

nature, at her best

seasons

summer comes, spring leaves

but it will return.

the heat comes, the spring breeze leaves

but it will return.

fall comes, summer leaves

but it will return.

colors come, the heat leaves

but it will return.

winter comes, fall leaves

but it will return.

snow comes, the grass dies

but it will return.

spring comes winter leaves

but it will return.

flowers come, snow leaves

but it will return.

new friends come, old ones leave

but they will not return.

new dreams come, old ones leave

but they will never return.
