Speak your mind
Without a fear,
Say what no one else
Will hear.
We’ll stand by you
Through it all
Our weak hands
Will break your fall
Be the hero
In our time of need
Heal yourself
So we can bleed
We moved the walls-
You were unaware.
You understand,
Don’t you?
We live in castles
In the air.
You’ll live with us
Won’t you?
Pack your lunches
And dig your heels in deep
It’s going to be a long night…
Sweet friend Denial,
You numbed and soothed,
Time after time.
We must part now.
The walls of apathy
Are crumbling now
And the pain pierces,
Right through
Our thick-skinned ignorance.
How I wish,
You could remain
How I wish,
I could turn away again.
Let’s waste time
Chasing the horizon
As it goes farther
The closer we go.
Keep running,
You’ll never get
A bite of that carrot,
Keep on running, jack-ass!
“Trivialities interest me not,
The final prize I chase,
For when my share of pain exhausts,
True joy I will embrace.”
Seasons changed
And he remained.
Silently he bore his cross.
His quiet prayer
Kept him sane,
Smilingly he faced each loss.
And then one day
He realized,
Impervious he’d become,
The dark, long night
Had ended
But morning never would come.
No longer did he feel the pain,
Yet happiness he did not gain.
A perfect balance he had struck,
In nothingness, forever stuck.
——————————————————————————————-
Dedicated to those who believe that absence of pain is synonymous with happiness.
Polluted is the air we breathe,
More is what we always need.
Distances blur,
Boundaries break,
Day turns to night
Night to day,
Nothing ever stops.
The filthy sea,
SLOWLY…
Consumes them all.
In the city
We call home.
We watch the dawn
Of a new day,
As the sun dispels
The darkness
That was once all around us.
We set out -
Fingers entwined,
Leaving our imprints
On the sands
To face the world
That awaits us;
Quietly confident
Yet not unafraid.
As we arrive at the path
Where once we stumbled,
We fear
For what lies ahead,
But realize: it is now
The time to act.
Moving ahead
Has become our supreme fact.
I look at you,
Your silent smile speaks
More than words
Can ever tell
We cast our fears to the wind
And march ahead…
Without a regard
For Heaven or Hell.
