Word 16 I Stand Alone

Word 16 I Stand Alone

I stand alone
Beside me everyone
Tears, they don't fall for me
I stand alone

Memories are sorrow
Life's Demons in my mind
Glimpses of tomorrow
Dreams torn and difficult to find

I stand alone
Everyone is my friend
Hands, they are not there for me
I stand alone

Heart of glass
Creatures seething in the mourn
Trumpets muted brass
Capture souls in Tempest born

I stand alone
Friend of no other
Compassion, escapes all for me
I stand alone

Mirror thy image
Cascading down through the years
Escape the lineage
Drowning sounds shrouding unwanted fears

I stand alone
Others damage done
Rescue, Saving is not for me
I stand alone

Break free damnation
Chastise is essence forced wings
Rise inner sensation
I am more than these things

I stand alone
Done with you
Choose, take what is not for me
I stand alone

Strength and grace
Struggle in silence of change
Pride within place
Standing tall while making range

I stand alone
The last removed
Deception, take yours away it is not for me
I stand alone

Free to transcend
Manifesting a new breaking dawn
My hearts mend
Creating anew with all forgone

I stand alone
Or do I
Freedom, A gift I give to me
I stand...

New journeys edge
Walk beside or in distance
You're traveling ledge
Trained I am now, resistance

I stand...
Will you chance
Knowledge, freely given from me
I stand...

Light of new
Learn from damages to me
Hope in dew
Fall no more, I see

I stand...
Will you walk
Friendship, truthfully given to me
I stand...

I wait .....

Word 15 Family

Word 15:  Family

 

Family to me is unconventional

Family to me is love,

 compassion and caring

There to hold me up when I fall

Here to celebrate triumps

Stand by my side

Through everything and it all

Given to me

I give in return

It doesn't matter

Age

Color

Gender

Sexuality

Culture

or

Creed

Unconventional

Doesn't feel right for a word

I will choose

My expanded family

Those I hold dear

Over anything on paper

Except for Five

My mother, My brother

My husband

My daughter and My son

I will choose

My expanded family

Those I hold dear

Over your prejudice, hatred and fear

Every home has two doors

Just like my heart

Those of Love

Come through the front door

Those that don't fit

Are kicked out the rear

Family to me

Is the rest of you!

Word 14: Shadow of the mountain

Word 14:  Shadow of the mountain

 

Under the shadow of the mountain

Passed the forest rolling hills

Down the river's glen

To the prarie's waving fields.

 

The warrior stands in all his glory

Singing prasies of victories won

Song of great battles

An for honored souls gone.

 

The widows in the camp

Cry out for their lost loves

Holding the little children

Who do not understand.

 

Lives lost forever

Under the shadow of the mountain

Shadow cast not by sun or form

Shadow in their lives by Blood stained ground.
