the god(dess) has spoken

this is what i heard from the up above - thanks for the mail =)

Travelling through this shifting sands,
I told myself, I’d have plans.
Slogged hard in my pants,
But nobody gave me a chance.

I want to take off this mask,
I want to gain your trust.
In happiness I would bask,
But I fret about my past.

Look here, I care for you.
I hope you know tis’ true.
It sucks to see you blue,
Don’t be a man of somber hue.

This world is but a passing phase,
Soon we’ll all be out of this maze.
Where we will stand amazed,
In the presence of His face.

Till then, I’ll proudly say in the light,
“I have fought a good fight,
I have finished the race,
I have kept the faith.”

this is what i have in return for her.

who cannot see on a blustery day
a colourful kite on a background of grey
displayed in the heavens on a thin piece of wire
as the wind pushes on it goes higher and higher

a lesson to learn from this, such a price
i see in my mind as i glance the skies
a lesson i feel in my heart now for two
as this little kite depicts me and you

the kite is the friendship we two share
the words we exchange like wind in the air
if these words were not spoken, we should fear
our friendship would vanish, our kite disappear

so please don't worry that your words were too strong
between us they are and there they belong
for now they have cleared the haze from the air
and ours clearly seen, is the highest kite there

chatting, laughing and the games we play
you make it a worthwhile day
it seems so silly on just a machine
how someone can reach you and make you forget everything

this is for the rest of my friends in case they get jealous lolololol

my beloved ones,
when i leave, do not grieve over me
once released of its cage
my spirit will be in all that you see
the wind that touches your skin

the sun that warms your hearts
the sea with its waves rolling endlessly
the fertile earth where all life starts
the moon and stars that guide you in the dark

more than that, my dears
you'll find little pieces of me in my works
that showed all my hopes and fears
my paintings in their colourful hues

but even more so i am to be found
in the hearts of all the lives i touched upon
where my seeds of love grew safe and sound
developing into beautiful strong trees

trees bringing forth seeds, that will allow the message of friendship and love to be spread eternally.
