We Walk the Line


We walk the line, both soft and bold,

With hearts too young, and dreams too old.
We dare the night, we greet the dawn,
With voices raised and eyes withdrawn.


We stand apart, yet stand so near,
Chasing the thrill, ignoring fear.
With every step, a world unfolds,
A story told, though never bold.


We laugh at rules and break them still,
Chasing the wind, we bend at will.
A swing of the wrist, a glance, a grin,
We play the game, but never win.


We know the streets, the alleyways,
The songs of life, the endless maze.
With eyes too wide and hands too small,
We rise, we fall, we stand, we crawl.


We dream of places far away,
Of brighter lights, of skies of gray.
We think we know, yet still we seek,
The truth within the lies we speak.


We steal a glance, we steal a kiss,
We find a love, but something’s missed.
We chase the night, we beg the day,
But always find we're led astray.


We speak in rhymes and cryptic tones,
A language lost, yet always known.
We twist the words, we twist the fate,
We open doors, but hesitate.


We walk the line, a razor thin,
With every step, we fight, we spin.
We feel the world, but never touch,
It’s all too much, it’s all too much.


We wear the crown of fleeting youth,
A fragile thing, a broken truth.
We break the mold, but can't escape,
The world we build, the dreams we shape.


We think we’re free, but tied in chains,
To fleeting joys, to endless pains.
We run so fast, but never far,
Chasing the light, but never the star.


We know the cost, the price we pay,
For every night, for every day.
We build it up, we tear it down,
We wear the smile, we wear the frown.


We walk the line, both lost and found,
With voices loud, but hearts unbound.
We dream of peace, but find the fight,
We search for truth, but lose the sight.


We stand alone, but not too far,
We chase the sky, we chase the star.
We think we know, but cannot see,
The cost of all our mystery.


We fight the fight, we win the war,
But in the end, we ask for more.
We walk the line, both soft and bold,
With hearts too young and dreams too old.


We walk the line, we break the chain,
We rise again, we fall again.
We seek the light, we chase the night,
But in the end, we know the flight.


We walk the line, both wild and free,

And in the end, we wait to see.
What comes of this, what stays behind,
When all we’ve built is left to find.

We walk the line, we dream, we flee,
And in the end, we are the key.

Aldric and the Spirit of the Sea

Image
  The Ballad of Aldric and the Sea In a land where the waves kissed the shore, And the winds sang songs of ancient lore, Lived Aldric, a sailor bold and free, Whose heart did long for the endless sea. His father, a fisherman, strong and wise, Taught him to cast nets ‘neath the skies, To read the stars and the moon’s pale glow, And follow the tides wherever they’d go. But Aldric’s soul was wild and untamed, Not bound to the land, nor by fame, His heart was ever drawn to the deep, Where the ocean’s secrets lay asleep. One eve, as the sun did set low, A storm arose with a mighty blow, The waves did crash, and thunder did roar, As Aldric sailed to the distant shore. His ship was small, but his courage great, He sought the sea, though it tempted fate, For in its depths, he believed there lay A treasure more precious than gold or clay. Through howling winds and the crashing tide, Aldric’s ship did bravely glide, But then, the sea, in a fit of rage, Brought forth a...

The Tale of Aeliana: A Journey of Love, Healing, and the Silver River

Image
  The Tale of Aeliana and the Silver River In the land where the winds whispered songs, And the valleys held memories, deep and long, There lived a maiden, fair and bright, Aeliana, with eyes like the morning light. Her village lay beside a river’s bend, Where the waters flowed, and would never end. It was said the river held a secret so old, That no soul had dared to uncover its gold. The elders spoke of the Silver River's might, How it shimmered like stars in the dark of night, And how the waters, pure and cold, Could heal the wounded, and make the broken whole. Aeliana, with a heart so kind, Dreamed of the river, though it was confined, To the darkened woods, and hills so steep, Where the shadows roamed, and silence would keep. One day, as the sun began to set, She stood by the river, her heart upset. Her father, the village’s proud protector, Had fallen ill, his health a cruel specter. The doctors came, with herbs and care, But still, he lay silent in desp...

Whispers of the Infinite: A Poetic Journey Through Life

Image
  Whispers of the Infinite Beneath the vast and open skies, Where sun and moon in silence rise, A story weaves, both bold and shy, Of fleeting moments passing by. The Dawn of Being In morning’s glow, the world awakes, With golden hues the horizon breaks. A gentle breeze, a robin’s song, The promise of a day grown strong. Each new beginning, a whispered call, To rise, to stumble, to stand tall. A canvas blank, with colors bright, To paint the hours from morn to night. The Hands of Time Time marches on, a steady stream, A sculptor shaping life’s grand dream. Moments fleeting, yet profound, Each one a treasure waiting to be found. The past, a shadow that softly clings, The present, a bird with golden wings. The future, a star that lights the way, Guiding hearts through night and day. The Bonds We Share Through winding paths and forest deep, Connections grow where souls do meet. A friend, a stranger, a love unknown, Together, seeds of life are sown. The l...
