A lowly man's thoughts

If you were to ask me, how a flower reminds me of you
I’d share with you that its simplicity holds its beauty
That it grows in the light and remains whole in the darkness

If you were to ask me how a star reminds me of you
I’d share with you that it shines like no other, regardless of the hour
You may not always see it, but it remains luminous at all times

If you were to ask me how the sun reminds me of you
I’d share with you that she never lets me suffer from the cold
She always brings warmth to my heart and soul

If you were to ask me how the ocean reminds me of you
I’d share with you that I am at times overwhelmed by it
I don’t know its vastness, but love it wholly

If you were to ask me how a butterfly reminds me of you
I’d share with you that its beauty is a sign of its freedom
It can’t be caught by my hands… it has to come to me

If you were to ask me how the seasons remind me of you
I’d share with you that, each season is a part of intrinsic beauty which God designed,
and its very essence allows us to learn and grow through necessity

If you were to ask me how my own heart reminds me of you
I couldn’t share much and would remain silent,
because my heart is in your hands

If you were to ask me what it means to love
with your whole heart and soul
I’d show you a mirror and let it reflect how I love you

Silence in my heart, a blockade of high defenses,
These walls are aching to reach the sky and surround
That which knows what it is like to be wounded.

Soldiers and knights behind the fortress gates,
Archers side by side ready for any sign of a threat.

That seat which knows either a man or a woman,
Who is typical of wearing the crown, is empty,
Tis the crown for which the Kingdom is ready to fight for.

To fight for the he who wore the crown and
To fight for all that she saw and held as his own.

A false hope, it may be, but a hope none the less.
The Kingdom has never been let down, but now with
The threat of invasion, ought we not fear while she is without ruler?

Never the less, side by side, we stand, ready to protect with our lives,
Life is so precious, but compared to this, it is nothing.
