Why is the look that we share?
Make something far from within
Fills my heart so loud and clear
About the dream that is missing.
The voices I hear coming from far,
Sounds nearer the void in my being.
The centre heartbeat of a single tear,
Move to the brink of every drain.
I am lost in the beating stream,
Gone under each wave as the sea grew heavy,
Agony is a lonesome island far from the dream,
I still have sitting upright in me.
Weaken at the task, were you the craft?
Crossing the widening void in my heart,
Into the winding streams of a healing path
The long oars swing carries me safely out.
And you see me looking through you,
With the enigma spiralling to the end,
Below fading shadows, your smile is new
Strength to reach the other side again.
We find reasons to stay alive
From what we have been told
Sometimes it doesn't come unless we strive
To have enough breath left to hold.
