FEAR NOT

With each breath of wind, nature slowly unfolds.

With each setting trend, another story is told. 

So as I look at the construction, of the world today

I inhale the destruction, that just won't go away. 

Yet deep in a corner, there is a spot of great peace. 

A place so much warmer, where there is no police.

A place from the past, that we use to know.

A place of green grass, lightly covered in snow. 

Today is so cloudy, I hope for the shine of the sun. 

My thoughts become rowdy, when I think of the battles I've won. 

When my confidence seems low, I easily deceive you. 

What you have to know, I never believed true. 

So with all that said, is life what it really seems. 

Only when we are dead, will we know what life really means. 

So I open up my mind, to the ideas of all

Because in do time, we all must fall.

So when I leave this world, and give my final good bye. 

I won't have a casket of pearls, but you'll find love in my eyes. 

I've gripped all the terms, of a troubling life. 

So when I rest with the worms, I'll make joy my wife. 

Right now death, might be coming near. 

But my last breath, I will not fear. 

I will let the memories of yesterday, put a smile on my face. 

And I will take my life and live the rest today, and sleep on sheets of lace.
