Once upon a time I was reason,
And every word was strategically placed.
Every sentence, a speech,
In which you can hear, feel, see, smell, and taste.
I long for that insight,
But it was left somewhere back in my track.
I pulled it out on my journey,
But I never placed it back.
I climbed up these mountains,
And once I reached the highest of peaks.
I realized what’s lost,
Is what everyone seeks.
It’s that comfort you feel,
When you know each and every word.
And everyone’s thoughts,
Can be silently heard.
All of the truths,
Can leak out of the lies.
Flood your uncertainty,
With the kindest of eyes.
With the calmest of tone,
With the softest of touch.
I never knew that this relation,
Would teach me so much.
So much of that reason,
To lose faith, trust and hope.
I long for the day,
That I can begin to cope.
With all of the lessons,
For even the world, I wouldn’t trade.
Offer me earth,
And I would keep the mistakes that I made.
I would climb up these mountains,
Just to climb back down that trail.
That leads to the next,
Time I will fail.
And I will take that mistake,
With the widest of open arms.
Because I just changed the batteries,
In all the alarms.
It seems as if these days,
The sirens continuously sound.
And every square I meet,
Assures me their round.
And I do wish I could trust them,
But baby, my confidence went ill.
And every path that I travel,
Is missing that thrill.
And sometimes even,
The kindest of eyes,
Could reflect the colors,
That you truly despise.
But you can’t let that ruin,
The hike up that trail.
You know that one you dreamt of,
That refuses to fail.
