I’ve posted it before, but this is one of my favorites, so I just wanted to post it again.
At the grey line of life
Here I stand,
Waiting on the brink.
Waiting…
For that one choice,
For that one chance,
For that one moment
When all the world is mine!
I’m standing here,
I’m waiting now,
Waiting for that moment.
There’s just this one moment
At the brink
When my decisions
I make…
For that one choice,
For that one chance,
For that one moment,
When all the world is mine!
I’m standing here,
I’m waiting now,
Waiting for that moment.
I stand to make my choice,
Cannot see
Where my choice will lead.
Waiting…
For that one choice,
For that one chance,
For that one moment,
When all the world is mine!
I’m standing here,
I’m waiting now,
Waiting for that moment.
Just something I wrote a while ago. I might add more to it at some point, but for right now it’s complete as is.
They said it was the best ship ever built: way ahead of its time. It was the finest ship in the world, not to mention the largest. Nothing surpassed it, and nothing was its equal. She was the best of the best, no doubt about it. There was much talk about this, this marvel of shipbuilding. They said it had the greatest luxuries money could buy. They said it was the fastest, able to beat any record. They said it was the goddess of ships, way above those others of its kind. Nothing could compare, nothing could come close.
They said it was unsinkable. That God Himself couldn’t sink this ship.
But I’ve learnt some things here and there, and if there’s anything I’ve learnt, it’s that you don’t make a remark like that without something happening. You challenge God to a duel, and He just may take you up on that offer. And heaven help you if that happens- for then there isn’t any hope for you. You just may as well back out then and there while you still can. Stop while you’re ahead, as the saying goes.
‘Cause there isn’t anything God can’t do. And the surest way to get Him to do something sometimes is to challenge Him and say that He can’t. Didn’t Goliath challenge God? And look what happened to him- dead, and by a boy at that. That king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, shook his fist in God’s face- and spent the next seven years drooling in lunacy.
No, sir, it don’t pay to challenge God, for He may just take you up on that offer.
Synopsis for “Into the Past.”
Brian Dennings is a high school senior with a car and an attitude. Relations at home are strained, and he is looking for the quickest way out. Before anything however, he must first complete his last year of high school. After graduation, he plans to hit the road and never look back.
His plans are derailed when he receives a history assignment from one of his teachers. He expects it to be a cinch, but that is before he begins the assignment. To complete the assignment, he must tell of a historical event which someone in his family remembers. As he digs deeper into the past he is drawn farther into the story by his grandfather, who is a World War 2 veteran. What his grandfather tells him completely changes Brian’s perspective on history, people, and even his own life.
Because Derich Kleiv has a secret. He wasn’t an American, or even a Jew. He was a Nazi.
Mornings should be banned… -_-
But, since it is not likely to happen, I’ll move on.
Brr!!! It was freezing cold this morning! The clouds cleared out last night, so the cold really set in. I woke up to it creating icy little designs on everything it could reach, with a crisp breeze floating on the air while the sun slowly climbed over the eastern hills, lending light but little warmth.
Or at least, that’s what I imagine. Myself, I was snug in bed under a huge pile of fleece blankets, and when I did get up I was much too interested in locating the nearest pair of slippers to warm my frozen toe to notice anything going on outside, unless it was perhaps the house across the street suddenly bursting into flames- that at least would be something to note without me losing fingers and toes in the process. But, no fire, so I’m still digging around for my slippers. Actually I found them, and I’m currently sitting in front of the computer wrapped in a blanket while I wait for the day to slowly warm.
And in the meantime, I am trying to figure out which writing I should work on today. I’m considering filling out my WW2 story some more so I can post it on the WEBook site, or I might work on one of my fantasy novels. Which one? Who knows… maybe neither. Maybe I’ll sit here and continue to try and beat my own score in this game on facebook that I’ve recently become addicted to, which myself and a couple friends are competing for the top spot, a title that I quite proudly hold as my own- for the moment. I think I’ll up my score some, to make it more difficult.
Yes, we all need it. I have my ups and downs, times where I’m not really interested in actually doing what I should be doing, but instead just sitting around doing something else. This mostly applies to my writing- I have yet to finish a book, though admittedly, mostly due to the encouragement and feedback I’ve received so far, I’ve been able to get a lot more work done on several separate novels. I have a goal set to have one finished by the end of this year, and I’m not letting myself consider the fact that it won’t be… or at least, I’m trying not to consider it. Occasionally the thought slips in now and then, but I do my best to ignore it.
However, that doesn’t do much for getting the gumption to actually sit down and work. So where do I find my motivation? In other writings. I’ve recently created a profile on the writing site WEBook- you can look me up there, if you have one, my pen name there is NatMikey. So far I don’t have much posted, but I plan on posting some more of my work up there, to see what sort of feedback I can get. Also, I’ve been looking around and browsing to see what other stuff is on there- and it’s a lot, in just about every sort of genre and style imaginable, so there’s something for everyone. Well, in reading all these works, I’ve been slowly getting ideas and motivation for my own writing. Will it stick? Who’s to say…
