We are the Light

The stars and moon have fallen from the sky

The broken and the starving live in fear

And people try to live only to die

So many cry in pain, but few will hear

The storms of human souls shatter the sun

The earth quakes under men who charge to fight

And you might be convinced the world is done

But dawn comes, the horizon to ignite

The world is uncaring, some testify

But empathy is still buried inside

Action and work might be in short supply

But so many wet eyes can still be dried

You say that our future cannot be bright,

But, how you are wrong, as we are the light

Daydreams

Love always finds a way into daydreams

He could be there at every sudden turn

A smile from a stranger makes you beam

You just have to wait, no need for concern

But soon you’ve been waiting for a while

Watching as others find love and lose it

And you keep drifting with a breaking smile

Filled with a pain you feel you can’t admit

Still pressing on, your courage untying

But your limbs refuse to sink, and you swim

The years keep passing and hopes keep dying

You now think that you might never find him

When you have lived your whole life being passed

To live one daydream isn’t much to ask

The Stuff of Life

These days I’ve been feeling stuck on repeat

I feel the colors of my world slipping

The pencil is hard to push ‘cross the sheet

Quickly, shorter my focus is chipping

Is this all that life is supposed to be?

Monotone beats with no sound to pursue?

No, life must be more than dull misery

Life is much more than just making through

Life is the fear before stepping on stage

And noticing the way that others shine

Life enjoying every day that you age

And the sting of the cold on winter nights

Life is the moments when you know you’re whole

Life is feeling every part of your soul
