Half the time our eyes are open, we're still sleeping//
As if in reverse we never peddle forward, tho lay in the past weeping//
My brother's keeper in a different sense, I was lost and toking//
For each inhale the battle, I was slowly loosing//
For each moment, I was surely teaching//
A mentor without knowing, a chef without boasting//
A dim candle lit in the far is the emotions the heart is showing//
Why do we not listen, yell without thinking//
Treat our blood like somebody else because we're sinking//
This isn't the way for their footsteps are sure to follow//
Abusing their wives and neglecting their own for father's skills are shallow//
No one to lend an ear for frustration's got the best of him//
Rather have it now than later so the dark is beckoning him//
Temptation at its finest the red line is getting thinner//
No remorse for his family the voices are getting clearer//
One more strike and he's done now we see our brother through foggy mirrors//

Magic Surrounds Us
Take a deep breath, first you inhale, then slowly exhale. A little at a time you begin to let go of all the strain, the stress, the sufferings of life. Feel the warmth of the gamma rays on your back with eyes closed and mind open. The beautiful smell of nature's scent through the light breeze. Hear clearly the songs that the birds chirp while you slowly inhale, then exhale, taking in life's greatest aspects. Learn to feel the energy that surrounds you, the cold chill across your body as the fresh breeze flow throughout the land.

The Symphony of Love
One evening, as they strolled hand in hand beneath the starlit sky, Ethan paused beside a gleaming storefront adorned with dazzling jewelry. His eyes alighted upon a breathtaking set of ornaments – a necklace, earrings, and bracelet – each adorned with intricately carved silver vines and sparkling diamonds that seemed to capture the very essence of Sophia's beauty.
