At times I feel like giving up on life
for its wounds are so hard to mend.
I see you’re neither here nor there but in the midst.
Your contemplation I can't comprehend.
Everything built is easily destroyed
thus nothing remains worthy for us to stay.
To break then build is a lesson in life
so face your fears, don’t run away.
But fears can be haunting & daunting.
Certainly mine have obsessed me
Fear only takes over when you believe it so.
Beauty is there if you could only see.
How could beauty be seen in life
when it's only ever lies and deception?
Life can be beautiful if you chose it so,
so take my hand, rifle this perception.
What if you let go, will I not flow
through the tides of despair alone?
Life dances when one takes chances.
Two will tango in this great unknown.
But life's melody can be out of tune.
What if we trip and fall?
Come what may, tomorrow’s a new day.
Keep hope at heart, stand proud and tall.
But the tall crumble into smaller pieces
& the proud stand behind thicker fences.
Take a chance, this door long awaits
behind it you'll find no false pretences.
To open doors is to call forth the wind
& I might be swept into seamless storms.
The howling wind can be soft or fierce
so I understand you would rather be warm.
To me 'warmth' is just a fairytale word
non-existence in my world's dictionary.
New words can be learnt, even understood.
Its in our nature to be wary.
And wary we have been, what was the gain?
Broken hearts and silenced tongues.
There is always sunshine after the rain.
Broken hearts will mend to life's sweet song.
So shall we sing, shall we dance?
& if we fall we can always retrace...
so retrace...
I now hold out my hand to lead the way.
where dreams are made, our special place.
Here's my hand, let's dance the floor,
giving life to all our sleeping dreams.
To the song of life, we'll sway in sync.
Where the light of love will always gleam.
Together
Forever
