The leaf
there was a leaf frozen on the ice stuck
if it should escape it would be by luck
yet as it breathed its last goodbye
as it uttered a last hopeful cry
the sun came out and cradled the leaf
melting the ice with warmth it could keep
the sun drew the leaf into the sky
setting it free from up on high
the leaf its gratitude poured out with joy
indebted itself so its thanks it could employ
the sun disagreed saying there should be no price
leaf was sun's friend so she freed it from ice
and from that day on the sun helps the leaves
the forest of plants with the warmth that it keeps
The War
somber faces such grim sights
who made darkness from the lights
eerie screaming hushed pain
who marked the places where they have lain
soft cries silent war
who turned memories into lore
quiet sighs unheard moans
who cleared out all of their bones
forgotten places red stained floors
who walked after through heaven's doors
no tomorrow only yesterday
who sent the souls in death away
blackened sky darker hall
who started the destruction of them all
ruddy ground death by the ton
who righted the wrongs they all have done
Hope
The darkness tries to bite
They fight back with all they've got
It's dark against light
But who will pull through
Equals it seems
Yet not from there
Just watch out for the cause
See the fire in their eyes
Those who put light through the dark
Have a blazing fury undenied
See this light
Their token of strength
Feel the blaze
The hope that arises
