Rest easy my friend, be at peace and find joy. Rest easy my friend, play your music with the winds. Rest easy my friend, brighten the sky with your smile. Rest easy my friend, but help create thinkers, like you Rest easy my friend, until we meet again

I'll paint my world in colors vibrant and true, to brighten the day and bring out true beauty. See through my eyes, just take a glimpse, of what could be and what is, and together let's bring it to life

A lit match burns, setting fire to all it touches. Pages of memories piled up, their words seared into my soul. The dancing flame revives them, replaying moments lost and gone. I turn my face away, but the heat still lingers The paper smolders, as I will the thoughts away, 'Til all that's left is ashes

A single word, a unfinished thought, a glimpse into the soul. Listen, pay heed, before silence overwhelms. Take it in, don't let it be overshadowed. Though the line may be short, it may speak great things. Though quiet the speaker may be, grand ideas may their lips utter. Though there may be no ease, patience, they may struggle to find words. Whisper the world, let others be heard.

Colors so vivid, too breath-taking to be true a mixture of reds yellows oranges pinks and blues. It catches the eyes, awe-inspiring and ravishing, a sight to behold, though the day is ending. The darkness may come, as the light fades away, but the magic of this moment shall have it's way.

Silence. Biting my tongue, lowering my gaze. Silence. Holding back, censoring myself. Silence. Afraid to speak, scared to open up. Silence. Try to fit in, don't draw attention. Silence. Fall in line, don't challenge the status quo. Silence. Try to avoid hate, try to be loved.

May the seas be calm, may the winds not stir. May your days be easy and the night be quiet. Let the pipers rest, the buglers take ease, and the war drums silence. May your journey be easy, may it be quick. Return to us safely, come home to us soon.

The first snow falls, light and fluffy, The start of the new season, with shorter days and longer nights. It glistens and shimmers, a thing of beauty in a dismal time. So cuddle up close, keep warm besides the fire, and watch the winter unfold.

The illusion breaks, my world shakes. The shattered pieces fall to the floor, not resembling anything anymore, sharp shards lay in a pile, the fragments of a broken smile. Images flash of days in the past, I'd hoped they'd forever last. Here I stand, through it all, wondering what to believe at all
