Fall and Rise

The falling away of illusion
The shattered fate swept away
In the breeze blown trees, in the surfer's wake
Here in lies, a scale of mind, measuring the stakes
One side speaks of love and peace, another..
Breeds mistake

The heat of heart concaves to art
A lovely theater, each part played
But what of cuts, gashes, and scars
That leave one's chest in dissaray

The novice might well have his say
His expertise, naivety
When conditioned to a high degree
Patterns confound, from June to May

The system bumps, bruises, and bangs
The seperate pieces misaligned
The hour is now, the fight is nigh
Thats right my hero, reppin time

Don't save your strides, protect your piece
Neglect the queen and sacrifice
It takes a hint, for ill convinced
To know the notions asinine

He won't withstand the strength of time
The blistering beat of hollow tones
And if his feet wander the snow
This path of his he trails alone

Again he goes, foretold, foregone
The will is weak towards substance strong
The strength of speech won't hold till dawn
The midnight deep, conflictions,  torn

You'll find him there, not here instead
Asleep, alive, yet almost dead
Reminiscent on the thoughts
A sniper spots, and poet jots

This scene so seldom come across
The brave battalion disembarked
The shade engulfs the yonder dark
A young marine on roads to heart

Some ripple fragrence, some misteps
Some rippen fruit, some lead to death
Each way thats crossed assume the next
Discernment lies in every step

Approached by many, yet so few
Proceed the passage, see it through
Both foes and alleys, strange to who
Bears audacity to seek whats true

Emergent now, the journey fades
Like risen tides, like sines and waves
Infernal blaze yet still one stands
An ashy face, that of a man

Something bright sits at his core
The victory reich, some ages old
A product of a fabled lore
A fiction, still, within this war

Without, this battle well rehearsed
Within, a spirit reimbursed
A ledgend to the endless fight
A light of good, 'mongst boundless night
