turn away

seeming so lost and so helpless
how can i be sure if this is a
friend or phantom that wants
only to harm those near?

a simple hello can go a long way
when encountering a soul wandering
so far from the warmth of love
but why so down when life's so full?

'step away', 'come with me'
you dont want to do this
when breath comes so free
lest you want not to breath?

he turns and claims to me that
love is blind and no one can
obtain that which we crave to own
so for what do we live?

love hides in strange places and
must be sought by those who seek
to become one with what we are
made to have.

stepping away from the edge he says to me
'have you fallen from above to save me
when i had thought all was for not?

i return, 'only those who have gone before
can hold the answers that we seek. but why
jump to join them when we can be here as one?'
