At the Citadel's Gate

          

         

       I'm standing in front of the gate

      Thinking about the citadel's fate

      The past is ready to unfold

       As soon as I cross the threshold.

     Feels strange to travel back in time

     To darker days and harsher clime

     When people fought for their lives

     With armours, swords, axes and knives.

     Invaders came resolved to plunder

     To take it all, strike like the thunder

     But their efforts were in vain

     All they received was misery and pain.

    Cause those who lived inside the walls

    Responded to their ruler's calls

    They battled with honour, courage and skill

    And never bent to their visitors' will.

   Those troubled ages are long gone

   The fortress still lies under the sun

    So even when the hope seems thin

    Eventually the good will win!

Autumn Sun

       May the sun shine bright

       On cool autumn days

       Fill our souls with light

       And its gentle rays.

       May it lead our trip

       On life's winding trail

       Never let us slip

       With it we can't fail.

      May it take us far

      Into stunning lands

      Be our guiding star

      Through woods, plains and sands.

     May it bless us all

     With its radiant glow

     Chase the darkest fall

     Let our spirits grow!

Human Nature

             

              

           

              

        There's good and evil in us all

         One day we're high, one day we fall

         There's light and darkness in the mind

          That is the nature of mankind.

         We strive for wellness, we find pain

          We love the sun, yet we get rain

          We need each day to be intense

          We want our lives to make some sense.

          There's so much yet we need to know

          Yet our progress still seems slow

          But even in the darkest night

          We never stop searching for light!

Off The Beaten Path

   

 

       I'm going off the beaten path

      Away from stress, madness and wrath

      In woods where whispers call my heart

      To the unknown I dare depart.

      A world of secrets waits for me

      So many things to do and see

      I feel no pain and no despair

      There's only beauty in the air.

     Each step unveils a new delight

     And everything around is bright

     I feel that nature's my best friend

     I wish this trip would never end!

    The trail is over, I'm not sad

     My mind's at ease, my soul is glad

     I took the road that leads away from sight

     And off the beaten path found joy and light!

Tyrants

 

They are the cancer of the world

To evil their souls are sold

They always hang on to the power

And make peoples lives sour.

Always possessed by green and lust

Seeking revenge and killing fast

Make others suffer for their pleasure

They show no mercy and no measure.

But strong as they may be today

One day their turn will come to pay

Their reign of terror will be gone

And hope will rise under the sun.

Beware, dictators, of those times

When justice is done for your crimes

No one will be under your spell

Instead you will be sent to hell!

The Ball Keeps Rolling

 

         

        The ball keeps rolling, never stops

       Across flat lands and scary old drops

       Working its way on old dirt roads

       Carrying with it our lives' heavy loads.

      The ball keeps rolling every day

      We're all in it, we have to play

      The game that goes on all the time

      In good conditions, rain or slime.

     The ball keeps rolling, so don't be afraid

     Embrace the game, don't let it fade

     Accept the challenge with an open mind

    Move forward, never look behind.

   With each new dawn a chance to start

  Just carry on, follow your heart

  You have the power and the drive within

 To conquer obstacles, to rise and win!

     

Train Ride

   

          Train ride in a land of wonder

        Throughout nature's lovely sight 

      

         There's no storm, no rain, no thunder

 

          Just a day of pure delight.

          Train ride,  a journey so exciting

           With amazing views and sounds

           An experience so enlighting

           Taking me to newer grounds.

           Train ride, an adventure full of thrills

           That leave all my troubles behind

   

            Over the woods, mountains, and hills

           Nothing but joy in mind!

           

A Dream Journey

                        

              Take a look at the blue sky

               Dream of flying fast and high

               And of leaving all behind

              In the space find peace of mind.

              Wander lonely through the stars

               To the moon and then to Mars

               While the Earth, once big and hot

               Slowly turns into a dot.

    

             Move on with your cosmic trip

             Only you and the spaceship

             To the solar system's end

              Even further go, my friend!

            Far away in time and space

            Your ship lost without a trace

            Infinite your thoughts will be

            Roaming there forever free!

               

The Mighty River

 

         The mighty river flows

         Through nature's secret path

         And as the wild wind blows

        It roars with speed and wrath.

      No peaks, valleys, or hills

      Can stop it on its way

      It causes awe and thrills

 And takes your breath away!

It keeps a steady pace

In its noble endeavor

Moving through time and space

Destined to run forever!

 

A New Dawn

      

        A new dawn comes into the light

       To fill my heart and soul with glee

       I get out of the frightful night

       From darkness and despair
       I'm free.

    

  I leave the troubled past behind

  And head towards a brighter place

  A million thoughts go in my mind

   As I move at my own pace.

  I greet the world with open arms

 Absorbing every sight and sound

So let's embrace its endless charms

And look for beauty all around!
