Through my window
The sky looks dull
And I am sure
A storm will follow this lull
...
The walls are closing in
Shackles around my feet
However much I try
I was born not to beat
...
It is hard to fathom
An amazing link
Larger than the ocean
Deeper than any sink
...
The future is the way it is
Can’t change it so why try
Make the most of this moment
Before you know it will sail by
...
Hope is surely a strange feeling
We embrace it sailing the river of life
It gives us strength and liberty to dream
And provides the needed shade to thrive
...
As I stare at all the faces
Hidden behind the mask
Always plays hide and seek
Will surface without an ask
...
The fear lingers on
As the days turn to night
The silence is deafening
Nobody to share the plight
...
As we reflect on our own lives
We see it as a jar full of joys and strive
We feel blessed and thank our fate
And pray for the less fortunate
...
I stare outside my window
In the thinning light
There are long streaks of shadow
The sun has lost its bright
...
I write to feel
I write to cry
I write to say
And I write to try
...
