two fav piece's of my writing

Dark ominous and brooding storm clouds on the horizon of a pale desert landscape fill my vision, as I gaze out into the distance. Streaks of lightning illuminate the edges of the storm, a silver lining blooming with each milisecond long flash. The cool, arid wind brings me the faint scent of fresh rain, with each gust that tears through the crimson cliffs. The faint cry of a lone hawk far above forbodes the coming showers. The first drops of rain begin to fall, dark stains ever increasing on the sandy ground with the impact of rain drops. As the storm converges on my center, the rain begins to pound down, with a cleansing purity. I stand with my head down, rain and tears streaming down my face, and smile.

Dawn aproaches fast on the horizon, hidden from view by the twilight of loves lost soul. Ambling aimlessly on, stumbling upon nothing, I fall backwards at each step I take forward. Leaving a path uncut in my wake, each step unsure of itself, coupled with a solid determination built and designed by dreams. Footstep upon footsep forward, this deserted trek into far away places has lead me back to where I never came from. In all honesty and a little haste, I think you can't say goodbye, but you already have. Directions I've gathered all my life have left me quite lost as of the moment I'm in. The path not known, and directions far from complete, once again the split path of sadness to contend. These sad stars speak of time, and things of lost. Of love, and happyness, of all things from the soul. As each falling star passes my field of vision, I wish upon a wish, for happyness and bliss. Each wish a hope of a dream, of some lost and never realized, and some yet to be tested by Fates sense of humor. Dreams I have, and dreams they are. These dreams I dream are all my wishes fueld by my hearts hope. I close my eyes to pray, finding so much and getting lost upon the way. Stopping to find this simple beauty, I ussually seem to stray far from this path of my dreams that I take.
