Carpe Diem

I choose

I choose the Way
I choose to live
I choose to love
I choose to give

I choose my faults
I choose my fears
My mistakes
And I choose to hear

I choose the Word
I choose the One
The right way
when all's said and done

I choose my voice
I choose my song
I choose what's right
And fix what's wrong

I choose the sea
I choose the trees
The rising sun
And morning breeze

I choose to smile
I choose to cry
I choose to fight
And not to die

I choose to serve
I choose to be free
I choose others
Instead of me

I choose to think
I choose to know
I choose to learn
I choose to grow

I choose the moment
In which we exist
and not to dwell
on that which I've missed

I choose the Way
I choose to live
I choose to love
I choose to give

I choose

If the World is a Stage, Who Wrote the Script?

The man looked at the faces of the crowd that had gathered.
In some he saw triumph, others showed their sadness and pain.
He saw those who had helped him get to where he was.
He saw others who wished he was still with them.

This sort of fame was a bitter sweetness.
Today, he was the focus of the whole world;
Whether that was good or bad was irrelevant.
He had known from birth that he was destined to for this fame.
He knew that what he would do today would go down in history.
He knew what he would do today would change the world forever.

Yet, somehow, he still felt strangely unprepared.
As the time approached,
He felt a wave of emotions race through him,
Stronger than anyone had ever felt.

He felt sadness for the family he was leaving.
He felt fear for what was to come.
He felt pity for those who had wronged him.
He felt joy for all he had accomplished.

Above all, he felt pride.
He had performed his best.
He had said his lines.
He had played the role.

He looked up to the sky.
The clouds were gathering;
The curtains were closing.
The man closed his eyes and said a prayer.

God looked down at what had just happened.
He was satisfied.
The Script He had written had been perfectly performed.
The act was over, the play that would forever change humanity.

Just a little prose I wrote about a year ago...thought I'd post it...feel free to comment

Hey guys!

Well, presenting my new blog, Glass Menageries (da-da-daaaa). Hopefully, I will get something posted on here that's halfway decent. Just created this blog as a place for me to write and get stuff outta my head. One of these days I plan to really flesh this thing out, so stick with me til I do, but until then I will just be posting when I can find inspiration to write. Maybe once I figure out this computer thing I can find a way to record and post songs (maybe?).... Anyways, I don't have much else to say for now...check back soon!
