I See the Dark and Speak A Warning
The day shall come when Christ returns
the book says prepare now, earn your favor in Gods great sight
or fear the retribution which awaits unfaithful fools
To claim you have seen truth
spat from the lips of men unfaithful to Gods glory
gives you cause to fear the wrath from blind arrogance and sin
when in the end of day's all men, women, and children, in God's image are judged
the ones in holy sincerity shall join the Lord's table instantaneously
while the damned shall fall into chaos of their own making
No forgiveness is granted to those who claim belief with hearts lacking resolution to repent and save
damned are those who claim faith in the creator they would readily shun if not for petty selfishness
Until such a time when an individual can break down the walls of a human heart
when nothing is left but revelry and devotion to envelope the soul shall such a servant be born
their presence resounding and unquestionable
only then shall the doubtful rebuking mournful souls begin to see a shed of light
light that shall signify the conclusion to our scarred and flawed existence.

God in The Free Mind
What is reality but an opportunity to dream. What is a Dream but a fruit of the expansive mind. Imagination that cannot be quenched, nonexistent boundaries,belonging to a shattered framework as infinite ideas form, fantasies are created, and dreams nurtured.
God exists as a being outside of time this is truth. It is because God exists as part of our minds, a being representing the conscious potential of freedom. Freedom to unite and choose our own opportunities. Freedom to do what each individual would only do for him or her self.
Human beings only grow to understand God as they grow to understand themselves. In the essence of searching for God humans search their own lives inadvertently for the ultimate reason that God has placed them on the earth. humans grow in freedom and in turn are trapped by it at the same time through the idea that God gave us life and that as Gods children they can only do what he desires of them.
Slowly humans lose their freedom to choose what kind of life that they want to live simply because they grow attached to the search for God in their own personal lives and seek to better the understanding of God for themselves and those around them whom they believe need to follow the same ideas. They lose to the power of time as they become trapped in a new framework built by following each other in a religion. A religion that can ultimately break the flow of a free mind.
Imagination is powerful, God is powerful, and a mind without restriction created by settling for the beliefs of others is the most powerful. Reality is an opportunity to dream, and a dream is an opportunity to become the greatest that a person can be. God belongs the world and the world belongs to God the link between the two is a free mind.

the makings of a new demon a warning
i speak to the clouds passing eye level
i say i shall free my feet from stones grasp
to join the clouds in freedom
standing upon the sun, the moon, stars, and space
i shall make myself God of all
and the clouds responded with a tale
once a mortal freed his feet
he grew the wings of a swan, lustrous and white
and when he flew to the sun his wings glittered,
then burned upon the suns fire
so he replaced those wings of beauty
turning to wings of a dragon for support on sin
when he stretched his hands to the moon
they froze and disintegrated from his body
in his need he turned to slaws of the coldest ice fed by wicked deeds
as he looked to the stars the mortal was blinded by their beauty
so he gouged out his eyes to avoid the righteous stars through means of empty satisfaction
so he may run from that which he cannot control
finally the space he tried to breath left his lungs empty
open to the most foul vapors of arrogance
i spoke to the clouds my determination to rise to untold heights
the clouds responded with a story a warning
greed leads to injury and evil paths
the clouds fly where they do because it is above naivety but below gluttony
wisdom comes to the people who feed their minds with restraint
this way they don't twist in their favor the teachings that they have obtained.

I seek the worlds warmth
It's cold, dark
i don't know what to do
where am i
should i run
should i stay
i'm scared
show me the light
someone responed
tears
i fear
ill i never know company's warmth
should i wish should i dare the world
show your face like the cheshire cat
i will wait
rebelling as long as i can i will run
bounding through doubt and dark
searching for anything
candles flicker or suns light
i just want to see
to feel warmth

Pardon Me but I Need to Vent.
wisdom coupled with arrogance is nothing more than intelligence that can't be used.
I have become disappointed with the previous generation of people. I have come to believe that many think the younger generation won't understand the situations that the older generation has been through. I am going to say right here THAT IS BULLSHIT. Much of the older generation whom I have met have become bitter and arrogant. I repeat arrogant because there is no better word that I can think of to portray the attitude of the people whom I have met recently. Now this does not include the whole of the generation before my own but this is simply a reminder to those who read this and are willing to listen that humility is one of the largest keys to wisdom you can find. I will not pretend to be an expert on this matter or any matter in fact. i am a firm believer that anything worth learning about has no limit to the knowledge that can come from it. This is nothing more than a reminder that people to treat each other as equals without taking into account age or life experience. treat others with an open heart that has no expectations and you shall more often than not receive similar treatment.

I Request from God Understanding
am I speaking to God
do i ask for myself
what request did i decide upon
all i can choose is one
out of fear should i request for forgiveness of my sins
out of love should i ask to stay by you
out of reverence should i request to hear your wisdom
no
in respect i shall request understanding
if i am able to understand my guilt i know i will be forgiven
if i am able to understand who you are i can love you as close as a brother
if i understand your teachings the wisdom the that i revere will grant itself to me
the result shall be such a greater respect than what i have now
i could not possible keep you to myself
So God may i respectfully request understanding.

The Soul Outside the Clock Defined
we who stand in time
we who walk by the seconds
fragile people, we are only human
a life may be fleeting by the clock
spanning a bridge as if it was a ruler
but an existence is immortal
immeasurable to the world
immune to the clock
this is a mortals value
this is a humans potential
here the souls span is proclaimed

All That I Know is in You and its All I Need
Why do you love me?
In my rejection of your mercy
In my lustful desires
And in my greed you wait for me
You tell me to come to my senses and I ask, why?
Why do you have such patience for me?
My arrogance tries to push you away
My ignorance attempts to create a gap between us
But somehow you always become a figure of strength by my
side
Now I ask how?
God in your love, an endless ocean I stand
Watching the moon you created with all its serenity
And I suddenly feel at peace.
Content to let go of all that I want
Willing to forsake all the dislikes and begrudging
emotions
Just to be in your light.
I turn from the moons quiet gaze
To watch the rising the sun which shuts out all other
light in its brilliance
Its power that you created to give brilliance upon all
lives that you created.
And I scream for joy
I am given the passion to pursue your glory and share
your wisdom
I’ve lost all fear
And god I slowly lose my questioning spirit
Praising you for all that I am worth
And simply wanting to live through you
As you live in me
I turn now to the stars that remain in the dawn
And I burst into tears of ecstasy
How can I be anywhere close to sad?
You saved me from myself
You saved from the devil
You saved me from sin
All that I know now is the core you have become in my
soul
All I need are the teachings that you have given me.
I am satisfied in you

Tides of Curved Lips
Smiles split empty spaces
Spread through crowded places
Creating scenes seemingly fulfilling
And yet void
Smiles of unexplained origins bring about uncertainty
For as they flit from face to face they may seem out of
pace
And place on the side confusion
As though common place emotions are forgotten
And monotonous existences are never foregone
Even as such a youthful world
Burns through its young years at unrecorded speeds
And reminiscence is but faded history
Smiling faces become dust in the wind
Never sticking around for long
But always returning with patient times

Titles Belongs To Those Who Act Upon beliefs
Where is the world we seek to save?
How must we go about saving it?
I tell you now it is within our very grasp
but we cannot feel that which we struggle to separate ourselves from.
For we are among this struggling world.
forgetting about ourselves amidst all that struggles to save others
and even now as some save others rather than themselves
many more retire to the shackles the broke
keeping a title yet to be earned through saving those who had once stood chained beside them
In Gods Grace we live, laze, and die.
only to be asked by God on high
what make us believe we have earned our place?
how can you claim to be Gods children when you did nothing but ignore the commands of God?
I say to you now Gods word is only understood by those willing to act upon it
so do not claim that God is in your heart when you do not follow his commands
rather repent for your arrogance and plead for his grace again
because you cannot fight a devil alone when he has already won the war.
salvation is free to those who seek it
but those who seek salvation must spread what it has to offer
and should consider salvation only when they are ready to help save others.
so those who hold titles in loose grips
be aware that those titles mean nothing
unless you are ready to spread that title to the next chained slave.

Two Really Good Friends
These are two really good friends of mine, Josh Doneff is the picture on top and Matt Akin is the picture on the bottom.
If I had to use one verse that would describe their individual mindsets best those verses would be.
Hebrews 10:24- And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
is for Josh Doneff
Colossians 3:15- Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as member of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
is for Matt Akin

I Must Wake Up.
my life is burning
my heart sweating the worries of my mind
I have got this issue I can't fix
called distraction
I worry about the small things
I thrive on the empty things
but I forget all my godly things
and I realize my sky is falling
I'm losing my mind
my hearts close behind
and my soul is soon to follow
I'm leaving behind
all that really matters.
to grasp what I don't need.
I need you God
your what I need
how could I be so blind
that I would miss whats right in front of me
God hold up my sky
so I can live right
so I can be the child that you want me to be.

Where to Compare With God
I saw the stars in dreams
I viewed the sun on a personal scale
and I awoke to a burning sensation
desire
I want to see god up close
to entertain a deities worth
then compare it to my own
forever is a definition of time
perception is times personal flow
but our god outside of time goes beyond forever
I flew with the red-winged black bird
to fall amongst mice in the shadows as prey
and I felt my heart fall behind me
I want to envision an immortals light
to try blocking its source
and get burned as the price
I want to test my luck
die by karma's smile
and rise in the broken ashes
black from creating the dark side of the moon
where I pulled out the famous mortal lights
asking where God was shining

There is Nothing Better Than the Life I Live
In the waning moments
In the dreams
In the rain, the sun,
I smile in earnest, because I can
I look at the powder blue sky
Stained by cotton like clouds
Thinking it’s another day to chalk into a good life
Just as the lightest of breezes starts to flow
As my mind floats through its own space
As I fall from great heights to land in my bed
I grin whole heartedly
Since the dreams I experience on the comfort of my pillow
Can be the greatest peace of mind that I can receive
While I stand on the clouds
Watching the stars pass over the candy cane stripe lighthouse
Waiting for the day to come that the light shines on me
Only to open my eyes realizing the time hasn’t come yet
I just need to wait a while longer
Then I go to my window
Listening to the pitter patter of rain
The deep drum like bass of the thunder coming forth from the heavens
To finally cease as the clouds start to part
The rays of light coming from the sun show through tears in grey masses
Gold coming down softly as though to reveal what I am missing
And I smile content to live as I should
Ready to seek out the route the future has set
My unique and individual hike to live in grace
To see powder blue skies
To lightly float through the dimension of my brain
To wait for my chance to show the world I can be great
And to listen to the music that comes naturally through my windows screen
All to bring me happiness in all that I do
