Baggage claim
I'm taking off, I don't need to go there
Drop it all
Forget the weight and sit down with you
Lifting up
Together we'll have a perfect trip
Leave all our problems behind
You got me flying high
Our heads stuck in the clouds
The turbulence can't shake us
We don't need to ever come down
Up here in the sky
My problems can't control me
Now it's time to put my feet on the ground
And head over to the baggage claim
Yeah yeah
It's easy to forget it down there
Here with you
I’ve got all I feel like I need
Soaring high
I'm finally free! I’m finally whole!
Leave all our problems behind
You got me flying high
Our heads stuck
Farewell, dear soldier, the battle is done
The heroes in peace rest safe in their camps
Among them many a brave soul will live on
But none as brave as thee my dear friend
I sorrow to see thee leave with such haste
But goodnight, my comrade, goodnight
The sun is setting, the ensigns laid down
The hard-won vict'ry is lauded and yet
Thy fellow soldiers remember those lost
And wish for them to see the day's end
Our hearts cheer and mourn, and sing to thee now
Oh, goodnight, our comrade, goodnight
And now thine eyelids grow heavy and dim
The long-fought battle weighs on thy soul
The banner now must be lowered within
For every brave soldier must
The Night Times Square Fell Silent by joflorez, literature
Literature
The Night Times Square Fell Silent
Manhattan lost its heartbeat
We're all too numb to think
Tony stands alone with the flag on his shoulders
Karen is getting a drink
We didn't see this coming
We thought it was a joke
Maybe we were careless, maybe we caused
Our great unlucky stroke
But even on the night Times Square fell silent
We are who we are
We're who we’ve always been
Trying to find out what freedom means
Trying to remember that love trumps hate
Only together can we make America great again.
D.C. rejects the winner
No one would think otherwise
But Daniyal was so sure that we would stand with her
Alexandra has tears in her eyes
Ian feels energy dying

I took the hope you offered, clenched in fists
Still dried with blood and tears and without trust.
No matter how I walked, each step was risk
Without the father I had reckoned just.
Forward and still forward into night
So irretrievably the past pressed in;
My heart I'd hid in shadows from your sight
Began to beat in double time. Begin
The work you started, over; carry me
As I have carried love and joy and lost--
But do not lose me, do not lose her: we
Are cradled in a promise, crushed and tossed
Forever in the hands of neutral will
And I am begging love will win out still.
Inspired by beauty in all its forms, dedicated to leaving a positive mark on the world. Primarily a wordsmith, I've started drawing and painting recently. Most of my pictures are directly about people and words that inspire me in other areas.
Going to reupload most of my pictures soon. I don't have easy access to a proper scanner so I've been just taking pictures of my art on my phone. And of course the edges of the paper get slightly distorted. Faced with a clean crop that would cut out ...
I finally got paper heavy enough to bear some watercolors, bigger than the 4x6 index cards I've been working on. I've got a pretty serious piece in the works, larger and more detailed than anything I've tried yet. Still figuring out if I'll be able t...
New to DeviantArt. New to art really. I've been writing as long as I've been literate, and I used to illustrate the little books I made, but then I got out of practice. My hand lost its dexterity. Now I'm finally getting back into drawing and paintin...
