The Poet Sky

We stand on a foundation Built of millions of voices Held together by trust in one another

How you feel is true Those emotions are you They have their uses You don't need excuses

It's been a long journey and though we don't know where it ends We're almost there I can feel it

You're six feet away I can't reach for you I can't take your hand You can't tell me it's alright

We all wear different faces as we pass through life A different face for every occasion For different people at a time

Faceless soldiers march to the ticking of the clock

Tramping through the marshes of time Never stopping, never slowing

What will you do when they reach you?

The world is full of ups and downs Sideways turns that throw you off balance The road you thought you knew turns unfamiliar Suddenly you're on your own Alone in the unknown, it's up to you to find the light

Flowers were planted here Beautiful and delicate I needed help to tend them I never learned to do it alone

Why must suffering exist? Why must love ones never return? Why must we endure hardship while those above us never learn?

Three kisses to tell you to wake up Ten kisses to say it's time to go Twenty kisses because I want attention and one kiss because I love you
