What Makes Us Human

What is it that makes us human, what is it?

We are different in many ways, yet why is it that at times we do not accept it?

Are we afraid of it, is it because we don’t understand who they are?

Do we want someone to be the same, because of something?

Because we can’t always understand each other, at times we shun, hate, and are afraid, of those differences.

So we wish for them to be who they are not.

What is it that makes us human?

Is it those differences that make us who we are?

“I don't know”, is my answer. For those who wish to know.

The Crystal Sky

Within the crystal sky, the stars shine in the dark blue.

The flowers ephemeral beauty, entrances those who look upon them.

The birds fly towards the horizon edge, to a place beyond what we've known.

Within this machine like world, where time’s cruel embrace.

Takes us apart, like the winds do the clouds.

The emerald and sapphire-jade sea, the topaz sun and diamond moon.

For a moment you are there, for eternity space exists.

This beautiful and ugly world, this mechanical and opal world.

Within the crystal sky the stars shine, like them I will soon fade away.

I will say farewell to this life, within the mechanical and opal world.

If We Can Meet Again -Lyrics

Within the deep sea, I can no longer move. I wish I could tell you those words, that I've kept within my heart. As I fall into eternal sleep within the place between the sea and sky, I hope we can meet again in the future.

How long ago was it, that we first met? I cannot remember but those days we spent together still remain. The times we fought and laughed, watching the stars and walking by the sea.

Underneath the darkening clouds, those peaceful days were coming to end weren't they? The world we knew was changing, if I realized it sooner then maybe could I...would we still be-?

Even though it hurts to move, to laugh and cry. I love you too much to stop. I cannot dance with you, but I will watch over you.

Everything is burning, I cannot see the sky. I try to call out, but my voice keeps breaking. I keep running, trying to escape the flames. I watch as our home is destroyed, wondering if your safe.

I see you trying to flee to safety, diving into the ocean, in a boat I go to try to reach you with. Now safe and sound, we... Dance and sing, beside the sea, and I dance with you until dawn.

Even though it hurts, I won't stop moving. Because I want to be by your side, until the very end. I cannot dance with you, but I'll sing a song as I watch over you.

I can no longer move, but I can still feel you. I wish I could tell you those words, that I've kept within my heart. As I fall to sleep within the place between the sea and sky, if we can meet again I will say "I love you too".

Oh Firefly

Oh firefly, shine bright.

For only a fleeting moment.

Within the night sky.

Hazy Light, Island Tree

As the rain falls, a misty haze hides the world beyond my sight.

Within the gentle twilight, under an island tree.

Rests a butterfly upon the flowers, a lonely sight, within the hazy light.

The graves of loved ones, safe and sound they are, underneath the roots of the island tree.

As the sun falls upon the horizon’s edge, the misty haze, the drops of rain become the color of the sun.

Like tear drops of the sun, they disappear as they fall upon the earth.

The flowers as white as a newly made canvas are painted the colors of sun.

The butterfly with wings the color of the evening sky, flaps its wings in the light.

Like a jewel, the colors shine in the fading light.

The island tree in the misty haze, is a lonely sight, to this heart of mine.

Yet in the fading light, the colored drops paint the world in brilliant colors.

Makes the hazy light, become a dream that only comes in the falling rain.

If... -Lyrics

Wouldn't be nice if, I could start over from the beginning? To have the freedom of not having to hold, the burdens of all the expectations of the world. For just a moment in time, feel as if I am myself. But in the end, the cruelness of reality will take away that wish.

Why is it that, I'm always lying, to myself and others? Why is it when I'm asleep, I'm happy?

If I were to die today, will anyone cry for me? Would I be remembered, or forgotten like so many. I want to belong, but in the end. Loneliness is more kind to me, then a person's presence.

Why is it when I'm around others, I feel mostly empty afterword’s? I want to do more than watch the world, from this isolated place of mine.

I laugh and cry at, I love and hate, the many sad and happy things life brings. But in the end, I just want to scream.

If there is such thing as love, then why is there no one for me to love? Someone who would love me, for who I truly am.

If for a moment our hearts, could connect to one another? Then could we, understand each other?

If I were to die today, will anyone cry for me? When I fall into eternal sleep, would I dream a happy dream? I want to belong, but in the end. Loneliness is more kind to me, then a person's presence.

If there is such thing as love, then why is there no one for me to love? Someone who would, always be by my side.

If for a brief moment our hearts, could become one? Would I finally belong, would I be loved?
