in that hope...
lingering...
that one last step
to justify,
testify,
mesmerize,
we need to think freely...
no emotions kept under control....
no... no... emotions...
kept...in check...
we are free,
you, me
everyone we see,
a brilliant sky,
mesmerized,all we see,
all we know,
the pastel dim in our
gentle flow...
Author notes
You say you'll give me eyes in a world of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest
But all the promises we made
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
- All I Want Is You, U2
