The Creation



A life is born. In the blink of an eye you go from 
being inside a body into the world. What a transition.
You come out screaming and crying, catching
Your first breath, yearning to survive.


Another environment, you are scared and aggravated.
You went from being comfortable to being annoyed.
Your mother's womb surrounds and caresses you.
Then suddenly you are pushed out into the unknown.


You cant comprehend it. You can't think for yourself.
You have no memory and no thoughts.
Everything is blank. You can't even open your eyes.
Closed to it all. You're too busy trying to live.


Eventually your mother holds you and you settle down.
Then you feel loved. You start to feel at home.
Then your eyes begin to open for the first time.
What a sight! Your first look at life. Incredible!


This is just the beginning, you have a whole life ahead of you 

Chief


God's Son



Each and every day the sun is present
It is the center of our universe, everything powers off of it
Everything revolves around it 
without it we wouldn't be able to survive


It is at the center, the center of our universe
A distant lover, far away, but strong enough to be felt
Far enough to where we won't get burned
Brighter than anything you could imagine


It gives us light and it gives us life
It gives our planet the opportunity to breathe
It gives us oxygen, It gives us food
Without the sun the universe would be desolate


That's not to say its perfect
It has flaws just like we as humans do
Sun spots show off it's blemishes
Scarred through the long journey of life


Nevertheless, it shows it's face every morning
It's natural beauty can blind you if you stare
You must appreciate it from afar, its rays will still reach you
It's personality radiates throughout the sky


Everyday it wakes up and goes to bed like us
A continuous cycle, and what goes up must come down
But as with everything, it has a beginning and end
That's just the way it is, the way life was meant to be

The Man in the Moon

Nighttime hits, yet the sky still shines
An all too familiar face lights up the night
He comes in full, halves, and quarters
He makes the night light, and creates night life


A whole other environment, one that thrives
Living, but also mysterious, nocturnal way of life
He orbits earth and creates contrast between day and night
His gravitational pull is felt


He keeps us grounded, he keeps bodies of water at bay
He keeps the tide down and brings the tide up
He can also affect the weather, if not for him
It could mean devastation on earth


He is full of life from afar, on the surface, a different story
Craters on his face from impact, permanently damaged
His exterior is barren, no room to breathe
Nothing can survive among his presence


His demeanor is all too silent, He doesn't speak
No one can hear him, his emotions empty
Deaf to everything, he comes off as eerie
But I guess there are two sides to everyone

Faces


The Mind



The mind is so complex, it is an operating system
A network of ideas and feelings like the world wide web
Or like the web of a spider that catches food for fuel
There is so much information to take into consideration


Like a grid or a graph of thoughts and you plot your points
A circuit board of electricity connected together 
Used to power its purpose
A flow of both positive and negative charges


A field of positive and negative emotions
Sometimes confusing, you can easily be distracted
Difficult to understand, it is an equation
One that I'm interested in figuring out


Amused by its capability, it keeps me busy
So involved, I want to learn every aspect about it
Tackle every obstacle that comes into view
It is a chase to find a way through the maze of the mind


A puzzle without all of the pieces given to you
An experiment with many different variables
There are no instructions on how to use your device
You must learn it all on your own



Skin



Skin is a timeline, skin tells a story
Skin reads in fine lines, skin sometimes is derogatory
Skin has a texture, Skin has a toughness
Skin has a measure, Skin has a roughness


Skin has feeling, Skin has emotion
Skin is left peeling, Skin is so potent
To the touch, from the hot to the cold
To the pressure and the vibrations of its mold


Built to take damage, built for wear and tear
Scars show the pain that is left to remain
Permanently stained, one never the same
Distinct to its guilt, passion, or shame


Skin is protection through each one of its layers
Deep, a natural shield, one that we all wield
Although not indestructible, it will always heal
Skin takes a journey, one we all must feel
