Words spoken -
Without meaning nor passion;
Tears shed -
Without thought of true saddness;
...
Oh, where has time gone -
All my days have worn to weeks,
And weeks to months;
Until so much time has gone by -
...
We turn our heads
From sights of destruction;
Believing we can't change the world.
We act deaf
...
Listen -
Hear the cries of pain,
Which once were so joyous -
How can humanity
...
The problem is so easy,
Yet the answer so hard.
No matter how quiet the whipser,
...
In a faraway place
Where the joyous rays of the sun
Do not appear to reach,
There is a girl that cries.
...
Paper, like life
Is but a space
Waiting to be filled;
Opening and welcoming,
...
Dream, sweet child -
Dream of golden valleys,
Where small birds
Sing songs of beauty
...
Pain, Resentment, Fear,
Reaching for a light of hope -
Only finding darkness of mixed emotions;
Coming in unbearable waves,
...
Life's Meaning
Words spoken -
Without meaning nor passion;
Tears shed -
Without thought of true saddness;
Rage enflamed -
Yet no thought to succumb the flames;
Thoughts withheld -
Yet no actions reinforce;
Do tell -
Why do we let the world slip
Between our fingertips,
Without so much as a glance?
Why do we live each day
Anticipating tomorrow,
Without thought of today?
Why do we live
Expecting pleasures to come alone,
Yet are not willing
To ean them honestly?
Do tell -
Why do we expect the world
To give all answers,
Yet do not so much
As consider the question?
Why do we live
In regret of yesterday,
Yet do not yearn
For tomorrow's future?
Do tell -
Shall we ever embrace
Each tear,
Every word,
Each day,
And every thought -
And ever consider their meaning?
Do tell -
Shall we ever live life
With full meaning?
