Be the thing that others must brave...
Future Memories
It feels like just yesterday, this day that's yet to be...
[We] May Never Meet
Murmur and vim, fervor and whim...
How I Wish
In a way the way I be helps the world while I'm just me...
Trying to Believe
I would like to become the grandest things that you perceive...
Adore Eternity
While you should cherish every moment... Adore eternity...
Decision at the Edge
And on that day, His promise held true//my God taught me hope and Love through you
Promise Me You’ll Go – Revisited
I have never been one to revisit or edit anything I write... but I realized that can be as counter-productive as editing too much, and I know there is a fine line in there somewhere. This is the beginning of a journey I'm hoping to take regularly not only to improve my writing, but to inspire myself into potentially writing something completely brand new that is more polished and well-thought-out from the very start, and thus improve my writing overall. This poem was initially written to be turned into a song, and as such, is simple for the sake of rhyme and meter. I tried to maintain that stylistically, to a degree, though I was fighting myself to make it more eloquent yet unwieldy for use as lyrics. I may revisit it again someday and simply make it the best poem it can be. My hope is for this interpretation to clarify some of the meaning intended.
Together
Give me your hand and we can walk to the edge of the ocean, if you'd like. We won't jump in, but if we find some flat, smooth stones along the way, maybe we can have a skipping competition. We'll count the ripples, even if there's only one.
