The darkness takes me
And my eyes feel heavy
Like my heart
Which weighs down
My chest
I find that i am tired
Of being tired
And that i am wishing
My wishes would come true
I am constantly praying
That my prayers will be heard
And that i am always writing
About the pain of words
The rising storm
And the tumultuous sea
Of gray and green
Cannot be mightier
Than our love
And the sun
I stole your name
From the gusts of wind
And wondered
If it was destiny?
She is like the ocean
Her waves as soft and calm
Brushing my ankles
Like kisses at dawn
She is like the ocean
The towering frozen sea
Where the waves as tall as mountains
Threaten to topple me
She is like the ocean
Dark, at times, but brave
Stronger than I ever was
And soothing through the days
The world fell silent
But still you dance
With movements flowing
Like a newborn river
Knowing the path
The pattern
The way
But still unable to take it
I tremble in the cold
Of December
Yet the warmth
In my heart
Lights up my soul
Like the strands of beauty
On the tree
Does the silence
Want to scream
So it knows that it
Still can?
Stars are what I reached for
The ground is what I hit
Life continues to beat me down
Like I don't deserve to live
One day I will die, I know
Till then it's misery
So let's cut out the middleman
And all just cease to be
The stars hold infinity. Each one is unique and bright, each one is thousands of miles apart and yet still together in one sky- that is why they are beautiful. Is the same not true for humans? We are each different and still connected, and each one of us holds a light inside of ourselves that can change the world. Are we not beautiful in the same way that stars are? Do we not hold infinity in the same way that they do?
