A/N: --Looks around-- Hey! Long time, no see! In case you were wondering where I was, I've been busy with two new stories. Then I got writer's block. Now, I'm back and inspired once again! I'm trying to take the haiku thing a bit further. This is probably closer to what they're usually used for, but I think it's purdy good. I thought about episode 18 'Goodbye For Now' when I wrote this. Please enjoy! -NB-
-Surfacing-
Emotions surface
but then hide away again
and betray the heart.
Bounded and locked up,
he's pretending to forget
in exchange for bliss.
No more adventures,
no more endless battling,
no more friends in arms.
Why suffer all that
wanting a simpler life,
watching loved ones die?
----
Memories surface
but are pushed to a corner.
A faithful path turns.
His fake ignorance
will not save this bare planet
or get the job done.
Those who hold him dear
will not sit on the sidelines
just out of harm's way.
Is this life enough?
Better than remembering
what he has fought for?
----
The reasons surface,
and his courage is regained.
Time to take a stand.
Danger is coming.
He can never have true peace
until it's over.
His friends would agree.
The future is still open,
take another chance.
Fear takes a back seat
as he prepares for the worst
and says his goodbyes.
A/N: In case your wondering, the second part will be about Meryl. Please review! -NB-
