I STAYED AWAKE TO DREAM


I stayed awake because I had a dream
A dream that would never let me sleep
A dream to be as great if not greater than the men I admired
A dream to inspire a greater greatness than I would ever achieve

I stayed awake because I had a dream
A dream to speak to the world in words they would never forget
A dream to be remembered among the sages of ages
A dream to live more than an ordinary life
A dream to inspire a greatness than I would ever achieve

I stayed awake because I had a dream
A dream to be a miracle
A dream to heal wounded souls
A dream to light broken bones
A dream to wake life in dead dreams
A dream to inspire greatness than I would ever achieve

I stayed awake because I had a dream
I stayed awake because I believed in the dream
I stayed awake because I was walking the lonely path to the dream
I stayed awake and dreamed of inspiring in someone else a greater greatness than I would ever achieve

    What an elevating piece, inspires us to believe in what we do and stand up for others too. The words found a soft landing in my heart and I could fully resonate. Keep writing

HEART OUT

You are the one I think of when I am blank When I am happy you are the one I call I think of you when I am sad I pour it all on you And I feel it is all right I call you when I reach a problem's dead end Together we find a way to move to the other side of the wall With you I feel like the lake Galilee When Jesus was calming the storm You are my rain maker You make me feel hope You are the cloud that causes my worst storms When I know that I am the reason you are shedding tears I feel so comfortable beside you I can sing off key But it is all right because I wont be judged I can talk and talk Be sure that I will be heard I can keep the quiet of a grave And not be scared that it will be heard wrong Yes I can be headstrong Then we will fight and make peace I can be fearful when you are scared And we will curdle together I can hope when you have lost hope And you can hope when I have lost mine For that is how we become better You are beautiful to my eyes and ...

DARK

He sits alone in a silent corner of a dark room Trying to make sense of everything Everything is senseless at that moment Life seems to be worth everything Yet everything is worthless in his eyes He wonders why God had to make life in the first place and hopes it is not blasphemy No one wants to step on the toe of God more so those who hope heaven will offer a better home He is ashamed to admit that deep down he longs to be home Home is not this dark room filled with self doubt, anxiety and sorrow Home is where in the least he feels nothing Everyday he tells people to keep hoping but he  has lost all hope The only hope he has is that he will one day hope again Not hope to be rich or famous But to be happy for just a moment He hopes to slip over on his happiest day That is his dream He calculates how best to make his wish come But such days are to pracious to waste on fatal thinking He looks up to God Hoping not to offend Him and he prays for hope He prays that someone would listen ...
