Wishful Thinking

Colorful visions,
Of wonderful thoughts,
Provide an image.
So clear.

Displayed across your mind,
Illustrated by the best,
Painted many colors.
So vibrant.

Viewing the world,
Imagining the rest,
What a sight.
So alive.

Dancing streams,
Of light and sound,
See and hear it all.
So pure.

Through the clouds,
Experience through beauty,
Feel the scene.
So fulfilling.

Wishful thinking,
To enjoy this brave world,
As more than it is.
Too much to ask.

Peace,
Justin

Who I Thought You Were

You were here a little while ago,
At least I thought that it was you.
But I guess you had ought to know now,
That I was wrong in what I thought I knew.

Peace,
Justin

The Martyrs

Innocent there,
They stood their ground,
Against the men they feared.
Not moving,
Still,
A human wall,
A wall that showed no fear.
It can't be said,
If they had a chance,
But many of them were lost,
And their message bold,
Rang clear that day,
No matter what the cost.

Peace,
Justin

Unseen

Dilapidated enterprise,
little hope remains.
Crumbling into oblivion;
coming apart at the seams.
Still holds on,
but little faith.
Silent death,
unseen.

Peace,
Justin

Dream

Intricate fantasies,
division unseen.
Floating past
the beginning.
End of a dream.

Peace,
Justin

Two

I set out that day,
To find me a way,
To make it okay,
But I failed.

I didn't get far,
But I still have a scar,
From that horrible war,
That I fought with myself.

Think of it again,
I know that you can,
Stands before you a man,
That has changed quite a bit.

But never forget,
That man who you met,
Because I'm willing to bet,
He still lives today.

Deep, down inside,
Is where he'll reside,
Until he's untied,
And I let him go free.

But if he's let go,
What will happen, I know,
Is that he won't stay below,
But he'll rise up and fight.

And then, you see,
Who I am, I won't be,
And I'm sure you'd agree,
That I've already changed quite enough.

Peace,
Justin
