Philosophy
I sit here and think
About God and creation
And achieve nothing.
Regret
A man came to me
But I pushed him far away
And now he is gone.
Futility
I watch the sun rise
Above a despondent world
And ask myself 'why?'.
Hope
An innocent child
As yet unaware of hate
Strides forth towards love.
Fulfilment
A river that flows
To meet the brine tainted sea
And there shed its pain.
Death
A blackened shadow
Stretching unseen from my feet
Stains my life with dread.
Loss
A mound of fresh earth
Covers what was once my life
But is now my death.
Harmony
A deep-seated love
That encircles all around
And binds with weak bonds.
Life
A flitter of thought
That pursues a futile course
And ends on a whim.
Boyhood
A freedom of will
Expressed through an unmarred love
For the world at large.
Love
A trust beyond thought
And a quickness to forgive
When that trust is dashed.
Peace
A balance of all
That centers around respect
And results in love.
Courage
A righteous knight's charge;
A guiltless man's sacrifice;
A diseased child's smile.
Despair
A torment of soul
Bred not by others' actions,
But by our own minds.
Innocence
A boy's furtive glance;
A beautiful maiden's blush;
A holding of hands.
Hate
A boiling of thought
That burns the substance of life
And consumes all joy.
