one word

the early winter wind set a course through the canopy of leafless trees. happy people stood in wait for the appearance of something amazing. they didn't know what and they didn't know who, but still they waited. most of them didn't have any idea why they were even there. suddenly the sky awakened with a brightness beyond comprehension. people stared, unable to take their eyes off of the beautiful spectacle. what was happening? something unknown to anyone. then suddenly without a trace it was gone. something drifted down to the people from the sky. a piece of paper landed on the frost covered grass beneath their feet. it only had one word on it. a word that could change the lives of many people standing around there. something that would contradict some, maybe even make them cringe. some people would find hope in it. some would realize their true potential. that word would burn into the heart of every single person there. suddenly a raindrop fell. heads turned to see the clouds rolling in from the east. a storm was coming. the people scattered. suddenly the leafless trees were left alone. still the wind echoed that word. and what is that word you may ask. but in all reality i don't even know...

rainy forest.....

the wind blows on in the trees
the rain pours on the streets
the clouds thunder, so do the seas
a boy walks, but no one, he meets

his world is empty
empty of joy
his thoughts are shifty
but on walks the boy

through a dark forest
the rain still comes down
he searches for a rest
he feels he might drown

a scary story
for him is sound
but do not worry
he will be found

a world of loss
has found its end
a bridge to cross
a heart to mend

never the same
changed forever
a voice shouts his name
he has not heard it, ever

who did it come from
who could it be
why did it say,"come"
why could he not see

a hand reaches out
a hand of grace
saved! he could shout
joy filled his face

pulled out of the dark

that horrible water
saved from the shark
thank you so much, sir

out of the forest
the rain has stopped
finally he has found rest
the burden has dropped




I really have no clue why I wrote this. Where did it come from? What is it about? Who do these characters represent? Do they represent anyone or anything at all? I really could not tell you what the answers to those questions are... I'll let you decide. I kind of just wrote it. :D

Maybe...

I find myself there.

Jumping happily, never knowing what lies beyond my beautiful little secluded world of security.

If you've ever been to that great place where it seems that nothing could ever

go wrong then you know.

You know that it rarely stays long.

Or maybe it does...

Maybe somewhere, deep within the boundaries of our minds, that place will always be there.

Maybe it's just waiting for us to find it again.

Maybe, just maybe....
