The Land Is Green by FoxyUltimate(m): 11:47am On Apr 08, 2013 |
I just saw this lines on facebook and the name as mine. I read it and wondered if I wrote it. Of course I did but then, it sounded more magical and enchanting to me after seeing it again after close to a year of writing it. Feel free to tell me your thoughts on it. SACRED LINES OF THE MORNING THE LAND IS GREEN My songs are sweet melody drooping Like melted honey from its combs A touch of the soulless warrior Bravest in heart and yet weak at knee The sun is my torch light The moon a maid rocking me to sleep Don’t touch the stars up high Their anger could be shocking Am a peasant on a journey through A world where you prevail only by being corrupt Songs of justice fills my heart Yet to mouth the lyrics is like death itself The land is green…. Like the cactus in the Sahara Flowing with milk and honey Like the valley of death….. Wish legends will come to life….. Then with dismay shall our world be greeted….. Where is the greenery of Eden….. Even vultures are on the verge of extinction…. Do I smile or cry…. For my heart is now torn Torn between the suffering of being alive and the fear of resting finally in death….. I surely wish to live……. By: Joseph Success (Sacred Rose) |

VOICE OF A DREAM Wish the winds will speak it’s mind out Of the wonders it has seen while blowing south Wish the rain will express itself Its pita-pate drowning the voice of the soil in a welsh Wish the moon will remain full forever A proud bride for the sunshine in every weather Wish the stars will come out in the day Dancing slowing and making the world gay Wish pains will cease and death will be no more But all these are a product of nature Silence in my heart and cries in my throat My emotions clouding like a rocking boat Let the birds of the air bear the message Tell it to no one even those with whom you are engaged It is a dream born out of curiosity A voice neglected and denied pomposity It is a dream of a land far away from mother earth Where everything lives in harmony even death A dream of legends and knights of old Passed down generations in fable told It is the dream of the universe Wishes of every one breathing his last It is the voice of a dream Born out of the need of man into our realm A dream to see better days Even though under the yoke we’ve been for years It is a dream of unity Crossing barriers and all enmity It is that tiny sound like a voice Telling us, we’ve all got a choice A choice to change our world Clear it of all evil and discord Though the obstacles might come But our victory will be like the morning sun And sure sorrow does last for the night But disappears at the first ray of light….. IT IS THE VOICE OF MY DREAM…. THE VOICE OF YOUR DREAM…… THE VOICE OF OUR DREAM…… UNITED AGAINST ALL ODDS….. YES…. THE TINY VOICE OF A DREAM…. |
