Glory-us...
Another thought of late night reasoning =p
I wrote down most of what I remembered before I slept
Glory-us...
Legs unwilling to walk
Voice gone, no longer able to talk
Eyes closing among the sunny day
Soon, if I'm lucky, friends & family will carry me away...
Before then, I have a job to complete
Body broken, my resolve remains concrete
Not willing to stop, I stumble about toward the beasts that bare no humanity
With eyes filled with surprise, they look at me with questionable sanity
A moment more of them stopped in place
Gives hope to those I cherish with a smiling face
Still standing, moving toward them with an ember still lit in my soul
I'll fight till the last light flickers among the coldest coal
Sight blurred, I ask the, to make the first move, mine may be my last
With greed they proceed, I'll be certain to leave all I can, all the frustrations, my anger, my strength in today's tomorrow, my past...
Fearfully fast they surround me, eyes closed, in this moment, there's nothing I can't see...
Quick to swing, I feel each sting
Heavy hits throw me to & fro
As they stop, I get back up, I can't yet go
With all that I am, I come back in force I never knew
Showing in pain-filled hits how much I grew
Fighting for lighting, my eyes red, one arm no longer moving as I choose
My legs are cemented in one place, my body completely loose
I can't feel anymore
The only thing holding me here now are my memories, the ones I adore...
One falls, heavily breathing it's last breath
Soon enough, I, as it has, will certainly meet death...
Too strong the urge to sleep, I swing too hard, digging into myself, time too deep
One good hit from another, & I'm on the ground
Mindfully trying to breathe, I don't hear a sound...
Blind to who or what stands before me
Painful movements are all I can't see
In this, I hope I did enough, I hope they no longer hurt those I'd give anything for
Hear I must stay, till I'm found one day, I can do no more...
Echoes in my mind, I hear them....calling my name
To not see them again, will have to be my dying shame...
...I hear them again, calling louder, they seem so near now
I could swear I feel them, somehow...
Suddenly I feel tears above me....
Oh how I wish I could see...
How, there here now, I wish I could let them know...
I have so very much I'd like to explain, to show
There holding so carefully what's left of me, I can hear them talking, wondering why
They're enough, this I made sure no one would deny...
As they carry me back to town
Struggling, not one gives in to let me down...
Sun light warming to the touch
I whisper once more, "Thank you so much"
Soft hands close my eyes, & kiss my head
I'm fine, it's okay, for now I'm resting, I know I'll soon be dead
A hero in thought, a good friend in life at its best
To carry on will be they're shared final test
One none has to take
Not for my sake
Under a tree shaded so perfectly
My memories remind friends & family of what I once was, all thoughts shared so happily...
What a life, so wonderful to have lived, to love
Each day is forevereasy now under my world of wonder above
