Death around every corner, death to the left up down and forward, as you look back trying to escape and even as you turn the world spins of black death, all around all you see is black twisting, swirling as you spin out of control knowing not which is or was for all you see and know is death. As the chaos unfolds you spin past a flicker of light. It's there and then is gone is if swallowed by nothing itself. Yet again you see it as you are twirling aimlessly. You force yourself to slow down, fight the death that's gripped you, focusing on the small flickers of light. As you slow it no longer becomes a flicker, but a small insignificant flam

'Moment of Truth' -a prayer-
When it comes time to choose,
will I have the wisdom-
to overcome sin, or lose?
"Please Father, grant me the wisdom-
to overcome sin, in the moment of truth."
Should the time come,
will I have the strength-
to give my life, for many or one?
"Please Father, give me the strength-
to lay down my life, in the moment of truth."
Should the time come,
will I have the courage-
to sing praise, even when not welcome?
"Please Father, give me the courage-
to praise your name, in the moment of truth."
When it comes time to choose,
will I have the will-
to forsake my humanity, let your glory loose?
"Please Father, grant me the will-

A man searching
for a life to live,
Death of one, flourishing another
A life lived by one
who chooses to be unknown,
yet wants to be known as-
the outsider, different, crazy, insane.
For that's what he is to this dark world.
Made from the world
in which he lives,
a world not meant for him.
This dark world-
trapping, lurking, waiting
to strike from inside and out.
The termoil is great.
Hard to live
the life he's given,
in darkness to be a light,
proving the world wrong
time and time again,
by trying to be a kind, humble, gentleman
This life I choose to live,
My life I choose to give
to God, my family, country, and friend
We see through
a veiled world,
Wrought of rules,
regulating our freedom
to choose and believe,
that through faith and prayer,
with God all things are possible
Beauty, masked by pain
Joy, stricken by sorrow
Light, covered by darkness
The light of the world
scattered through the body,
will gather and shine,
eminating comfort and peace.
Glory seen through darkness
Used by the Holy Spirit,
a gift given by sacrifice,
from he who paid it.
Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior
Tears from the soul,
streaking one at a time,
for those whom's pain you feel.
To care so much,
yet can only
do so
little
Are words enough?
Can they ease anothers' suffering?
The same suffering you feel
though not always the same depth
as those who shared it.
Is it enough to only
be behind the scenes
letting them live their lives,
only being let in
when
trouble comes, an ear is needed,
give a little guidance, or
allowed to pry past the mask?
Are only words enough?

"Residing Darkness"
Darkness resides within me
Awaiting it's time to arise
For the lighter side of me
Remains just barely alive
Hope remains but concealed
For darkness now reigns
Throuh those around me was it revealed
Causing me great pains
Uncontrolled going on and on
Raving about my anger, misery, and hate
Your fighting back is agging me on
Drowning darkness is now my fate
You are so beautiful and pure
this I know for sure
That angels cannot contend with your purity
nor diamonds with your beauty
Worthy of your presence I am not
because of the pain and darkness that resides within
Although your mere radiance makes them not
Revealing my love and kindness deep from within
You caress my woes with a healing hand
like angels in a band
Thank you for the love and kindness you've shown me
Allowing my soul to be set free
Swords are considered spiritual,
being used in many a ritual.
An art that few aspire
for training, that sets the soul on fire.
Death of others, wielders have been known to lust.
Only one, does the wielder trust-
in maintaining self control,
over mind, body, and soul
It has only been one day
And my mind wants to fly away
Back home, but here I have to stay
While keeping my emotions at bay
Its been three days since I saw you last
I got an eight hour trip to the past
Of memories which no shadow cast
Memories of us having a blast
Here it is day two
Thinking only of you
Old angers strength has begun to renew
Its really sad, but true
Another thing is no station for rock
All I hear is country around the clock
I was dumb enough not to bring my own stock
I hear and see you all, creating a mental block
Told mom where I was truly happy
She found out how our dad treated us crappy
My thir
Why do tears fill my eyes
on this most joyous day?
Filled with merth and surprise
Why do I lie,
about what lies inside.
An empty void-
that should be filled with joy.
I got all I wanted or needed and more,
Family love, friends reunited, and a way to learn score.
Yet it seems something is missing,
and I know y'all are listening,
Patiently waiting for me to say,
what burden on my mind does weigh.
and at this I reply,
"I don't know," which I can't deny
now I search my heart and mind,
While thanking y'all for being so kind.
Could it be that Satan is dragging me down?
Taking away all the beauty and joy I have found.
If so, these
Here you are just sitting around,
Looking for friends who can't seem to be found.
You begin to feel a sadness that rattles the bone
All you are wondering is, "Why am I alone?"
Remember I am here for you
Always have and will be too
I am here to listen and dry your tears,
and to help you overcome all your fears.
You and I have a bond with few I share,
the poem I wrote explaining how much I care.
When life slows down and you're not in a hurry,
and when your mind begins to wonder and worry,
Remeber these poems I wrote for you,
and I am here to keep those lonely tears few.
One more thing, when you are feeling low
When you may quickl
You are a failure. You are a failure, na, na na, na, na. You are most definetaly one of the most pathetic people alive. You failed your fisrt attempt at showing people your mind. Which again is very selfish and yes you are one crazy, dumb, foolish, idiotic, and selfish person. I am not foolish. HA! thats hilarious! what do you think you will get out of showing people what runs through your mind? All you are looking for is attention. That's all depression really is. A crave for attention and you be a selfish little prick. I am not... SHut the F up. You are too. You try to be such a good little Christian but you can't resist the temptations pu

You're Everything I Need
A brilliant display of stars stretched across the ominous black sky, the park stretched out at my feet lit up by the magnificent glow of the moon. There was no sign of a massive orb known as the sun having travelled across the sky, the night having completely overtaken the day. The only trace of that large burning object was the odd warmth of the early November night. A cool wind sent reminders to those outside that winter wasn't too far away.
A slight rustle caused me to look over to where Kiwi, the brown stink pot of a dog stood sniffing with her nose plastered to the ground. Wind chimes could softly be heard hanging from
It's amazing how going through your old works you see how much you've changed. Not just in skill but in some cases your personality, or outlook on life.
To those whom should read this, I hope you are all doing well. It's been quite the adventure over the past couple of years and it just doesn't seem to stop. I hope everyone will continue to write/draw/photogragh/ etc. and that you enjoy living the life that you do. Remember that some times life is going to be rough and it won't seem like there's an end to all the madness. Just remember that we go through these times to appreciate the times when everything is calm and peaceful. Take every mom
Hey there folks! So it's been a while...been a few places, seen a few things, and done some completley ridiculus things. But such is the life I suppose. Speaking of life, it would seem that mine is somewhat on hold, at least a life that I would prefer to live. It's ok though. You live, you learn, and move on. Anyway, so my travels have brought me to Brisbane Australia and I would say that it is a huge city, but nice. Well, time is precious and I have plenty of things to see. You cats have fun and I'll catch ya' later.
Off the coast of Hong Kong wondering how long we'll be here. Who would of thought that some guy from the cornfields of Indiana would ever make it out this far? Hong Kong is by far the best port visit I've had. I'll be sure to upload pictures when ever I get back to Sasebo. Well folks, I hope all is well. I'm sorry this a little brief and I will catch up with the DA world soon, or at least try to. Time is a valuable thing. Speaking of which, I should call it a night. Have to be at work at 4:30 a.m. Again, y'all take care and I hope all is well.
Painting? Well that's interesting. Oh things are going well, somewhat busy as well as I'm preparing to depart for Europe this coming week. Just thought I'd drop a line and see how you were. Thanks!
