The peace of a man lies in the state of his leisure. Whether it is humble or glorious, peace carries the same posture. Now will never be again, close your eyes when you kiss that gem. Inhale the fragrance bliss emits, and taste the sweetness of no regrets.

I will never fit in your circle.
Too many edges, lines and angles.
Flattery will not help the situation, that's not what feeds my soul.
One of the reasons I am standing here, and you are in that hole.
At least you are not lonely, that would break my heart.
And out here, I am free- to approach life as I may, pretending I'm not sad that we have to live apart.

Out with the fairies I have gone. Be back tomorrow by the setting sun. Feel free to look for me, but with the naked eye, you will not see. For in this side of the world, you must have the eyes of a child. And your heart must be known by the beasts of the wild. I'll bring you back a song and a smile that will last as long as your calloused hands will hold them. Treasures from the fairy land only stay where they are welcome.

Time has made an alliance with my heart. Promising it's kindness as I willingly do my part. Making my way in the darkness, thankful for the moon. Trusting when I see the day, my bliss will come by afternoon.

I am in love with love.
It moves me in ways only a heart can feel.
Tremors of passion and hopeful zeal.
It breaks me in ways causing such dread, with worry and vulnerability filling my head.
Love is the reason the world goes round, why we don't give up and turn in our crowns.
The phenomenon of love drives men to war and mothers to their knees, "I give my life so this one will be free".
Love leads two people to a promise of life together no matter the labor, no matter the wounds.
And it's love that so finely brings their song to tune.

An apprentice to Love. Knowing home like the dove. Oh Daddy where are you, where is it you've run off to? Is it the stones you threw that have you worried? It's not your death, why have yourself buried? Just ask Forgiveness, she'll wipe you clean. Don't listen to the ghosts, it's your soul they'd like to glean. Daddy come back, all is not lost, we have eternity to learn what a heart really costs.

A son has been given.
A man and woman chosen.
"Guard this life as if it were your own. Teach him to love and never let him think he is alone."
"What you ask is great and we are not sure we're ready,
but if you trust us then we will say yes and promise to always do our best."
Another mouth to feed, another heart to hold.
A promotion of greatness weightier than gold.

There will always be an easier path. One that costs less and is painlessly passed. With hollow rewards and stunted growth, fulfillment found in an unkept oath. The path more daunting increasingly demanding, with personal conviction putting itself on the stand- begging prosecution to call its reprimand. Tested and tried true, the regrets of such fought battles, a rarely found few. 

Sail into the sea, where an unknown world awaits.
Take with you the letters written from the pearly gates.
Forsake not the one who tugs on your heartstrings.
Remember always the power that the decision to love brings. 

Walking on pebbles made of glass. Running through wild uncut grass.
It's peaceful here where you know your place. Knowing you don't have to hide your face.
Because here you're loved for who you are. Distasteful or charming, neither is barred.
Visitors are welcome, but rarely stay.
Poor souls are too used to being abused, whether by their own hand or the ones that they "love"-
their "serving" hearts a beacon above.
Here, no one will notice your unwavering performance.
It's best to leave that lying on the fence and come in naked, it's your greatest defense.
