Tears of Sanity

 

Tears of Sanity

            Given life’s morals

            There dwells a pain

            Uneasy

            Unforgiving in its context

 

            Through thick and thin

            Broken to knees

            Tossed through seas

            You always rise on top

 

            Your eyes, so aesthetic

            Tranquil is your structure, face, mind and body alike

            Heavy in aged emotions

            Engraved marks over your smooth skin

 

            Archangel, masked in light and dark

            Anchored below the water

            Unbreathable, unlivable

            Still you survive

 

            Nights forecast silence

            The hands of emptiness reach out

            Sleep calls to you       

            Wet and brisk ice

 

            Twilight after many moons

            Hear my voice

            Feel my touch

            See a light

 

            Heart to heart, hand to hand

            Let me lift your chin

            A kiss over your head

            Close eyes, as I fade

           

            Alone you never are

            Rivers of tears are felt

            None are ever forgotten

            Keep going, never stop climbing forward

 

            One after the other

            Warm and Cold yet joyous and sad

            Tears of Sanity
