Well we are getting to the end.. just a few more


234) *storm wind*

 gusting winds
 a flash in the sky
 dark clouds
 go rolling by
 rain falls
 the earth moves
 horses fly
 on wind swept hooves
 the hawk above
 is blown away
 as the sky above
 turns deadly gray
 all take shelter
 from the storm
 and in the forest
 a new baby is born
 a filly, black as night
 safe by her mothers side
 beautiful, like the storm
 on wings of death she rides.
 across the land she flies
 full of fury and of pride
 black like the stormy clouds
 she grows stronger, with every stride.

235)   *Love Or Death*

here is the question of life
 Which of 2 fates will you choose..
 In my hands I hold your future.
one or the other, your life you will lose..

For in my hands I hold...
  death on a leash.
  Tugging and pulling to get away
 Longing to be given to those in pain
And in my other hand
  I have all the love in the world
  which is meant to drive away
   All the misery and the pain... 
 In my travels I have seen..
  All the people in the world
 Some come to me for death
  To end their days of pain..
 And so I let the Leash go free
  And let Death go its own way..
 Others come to me for love...
   All the love in the world...
 So I give it to them freely
  And they live happily till they get old....

 Then there are the others...
   The ones that want nothing at all
  They who can not face death or love..
    And go one living with their pains..
 They can not take the shock...
   Of taking Death in hand...
 Or they fear the joy...
  That comes from taking all the Love in the land....

And so which fate do you choose...
  One of hateful Death?...
Or do you want the life of peace
 With someone who loves you best...

Or shall you be an  "other"...
 And fear the fate you face...
Pick neither one...
 and pass your chance with fate...

237)   *Breaking Down the Wall*
With a pick and axe
I pound upon the wall
Breaking it down, Inch by inch
And watch it slowly fall

Bits of light now shimmer
through the tiny cracks
and I pound once more
as your wall weakens under my attack

Peaking through the holes 
I see what I came to find
When this wall is finally gone
Then your heart will be mine

Why you tried to hide it
I'm Sure I'll Never know
But now that I have got it
I swear, I will never let it go.

238)  *Visit From God?*
If god came to visit
What would he say
"Greetings my darling children"
or "THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAY!!!"

Would he come by chariot
drawn by horses of gold
or would he just walk among us
aged, frail, and old....

What will he bring
 when he visits that day?
Salvation for all the world
Or destruction and dismay....

And what if he visits
 And does nothing at all
But silently watches
 our children playing ball...

If god came to visit
 What would you do
Grovel at his feet
 And beg him to forgive you?..

Would you even recognize him
 From all the other people
Or would you call him crazy
 And ignore him like a fool....
