Lonesome,

That’s what I was,

Like the feather

Laying on the grass,

A bleak opportunity.

Time it took to wake,

A deep sleep, it was,

Don’t underestimate,

The potential is hidden,

Sometimes within.

I took charge,

I couldn’t remain,

Like the feather,

I traveled a thousand,

To get to You, my strength.

Blessed, Divine Land (Spanish Cover)

English translation:

Blessed, divine land

is that of Palestine

where Jesus was born ;

Exalted is Israel among nations

covered by the fire

from the light that shone from Him.

Chorus

You are the unforgettable story,

Because on thy bosom the blood spilled

The blood, the precious blood

Of the son of the most High.

As old history tells us

That in thy sacred bosom

The Saviour lived,

And in your precious olive forests,

He talked to many thousands

The word of love.

In thyself are mute witnesses,

That are those old walls

of Jerusalem ;

Old walls that are destroyed,

If had they life,

Would talk to us very good.

Futures

This quote has so much to teach us. What is tells me is that time should be taken seriously. I like how it contrasts the two antonyms "shorter" and "longer" to prove a point. It tells us that we should take advantage of the time we have. The longer we wait, the shorter the time we will have to advance later on. Time is of essence, and we should strive to be active, and not let it pass us by! We should have a "shorter" wait for the future, so that it may be "longer" in the long run.

Oh you shall see,

Definitely not today,

Perhaps not tomorrow,
Bear with me please.

In plain daylight,

You will not see,

Loneliness,

Made to stay.

Regrets

"Never regret anything, because at one point you wanted it."

Although this quote is too vague. I take out of it a statement which implies leaving the past behind. Some people regret many things, and they do not realize that sometimes regretting hinders them from moving forward and learning from their mistakes. Regret can be a positive thing, but to many it is not necessarily the case; it may become a barrier.

I believe this quote is more than that bleak statement, to me it does not mean "live life with no regrets," but rather "do not let regrets become an obstacle in your life."

Any thoughts? Comment and share your ideas!

The water runs down the road,

Watch how it slowly cleansed.

The bird in its second dream,

Is gently perched on the branch,

Thunder explodes the gentle night.

Yet in the verge of sadness,

Light that illuminates sends a signal.

A clear view of life, it gently comforts.

The wind carries the dreams across,

Sharing the delight of the night.

Test the sunrise at least once,

And taste the morning light.

In time, when you are next to me,

I will show you more than the sun.

Your smile sends a swift signal,

I’ll see you again, like the morning sun.

Train (Original)

Original Photography by: Kirk Daniel Carter
https://plus.google.com/103574263845979425189/posts

Tomorrow's not promised,

Today might speed faster;

A careless train.

Whatever tomorrow becomes,

I will grasp your sorrow,

Only to become deception.

It was instantaneous,

It hit me without warning,

Everything derailed,

No explosion,

No evidence,

Only deception.

-Erick Flores

Bricks (Original)

You laid me down,

Like hard bricks in stone.

You glued my hands;

The bricks held tighter.

Today I melt the barriers,

That once held me to you.

The foundation built,

Is there to stay.

The Hill (Original)

Original Photography by: +Thomas Hawk

A long way up hill,
Stairs,

She dare not rest.
Wall over wall,
A successful victory?
Not!
A war, her husband.
A battle, her son.
Alone and dismayed,
Indeed she was!
Lost with remorse.
Karma?
She saw it as one.
The top of the hill,
Heaven she saw!
A long journey.
Yet time flew by.
Alone at last,
Yet alone,
She always was.
An unhappy funeral,
For the husband and son.
Not for death,
But for green itself.
A successful war,
She finally had.
The hill, life it was.

-Erick Flores
