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.

For All I Know

For all I know
The world may not be round
It could be full of crowded, crumbly ground
Coming up, breaking down
For all I know.

For all I know
Birds sing to bring joy and happiness
In the chilly, warming spring
For all I know.

For all I know
The squirrel runs, the rabbit plays
Making life an serious, endless game
For all I know.

For all I know
Rain falls to the ground
Spreading life most profound
Asking nothing in return
For all I know.

For all I know
Skin is not skin deep
It lives and breathes
It holds the soul within the body
Until it’s time to go
For all I know. For all I know.
