No More I Say

No more I say 
No more will I be angry
I’ll stay in the blessed day
away from dark clouds
ones that carry sadness, sorrow
making heartache
fill the days of tomorrow.

I’ll live the blessed, the right way
holding all that’s loved 
in gentle tenderness
no need for revenge or anger
no 
not today nor tomorrow.

The World Is Moving Forward

The world is moving forward
The old one has come to an end
The sadness in between is harsh
Sometimes you think
It’ll never end.

Then the dark clouds drift apart
A sun radiating brilliant light
Shines down
On the troubled traveller
Giving a guiding light.

The Fight Is On

The fight is on
Foes look eye to eye
No backing down
No clowning round.

Serious words uttered
Marching feet make
The ground shutter.

The sun looks dim
Trying to hide behind
Dark clouds that weep within.

No winners allowed
Only brave hearts move forward
No matter the thoughts
Indecisive or strong.

There is no right
There is no wrong.

The Clouds Are Dark

The clouds are dark
Ominous in the sky
Fortune once foretold
Hovers somewhere
Under clouds of lullabies.

Stepping forth, going to the heart
Of that that matters
Is all I’m worth, all I need
To live the life I’ve seen exist
In a misty, cloudy dream.
