Crystal Waters

The flying beasts emit awkward drones Echoes humming to an already chaotic zone However soothing, still, emotions run thick To escape, try not to see...hear…feel…think… Walking like a zombie, circling to nowhere Finding meaning to a life that’s hard to bear Trickling constantly, a never ending waterfall A drizzle that ebbs only to hurl a downpour Even in a mystical place of pure beauty Afraid that there lurks something ugly Still in dreams as eyes closed to slumber Scared to give way to ugly nightmares Surrounded by smiles from happy faces Beaming but dreading the next phase Happy to receive returns from heaven Fearful that soon those will be taken Life’s strange balance, the yin and yang To feel old when one was once young To know happiness, one must be sad To learn to stand, one must fall hard There are times when not feeling is best Shutting down from shouts inside the chest Coaching the brain to deafening silence Thus, hurt cease to be in such pretense Like a pond that relies on rain for water Our life is a pool brimming with wonder Every crystal that fall from our sorrows Fills us with hope for a new tomorrow To love and be loved we must shed tears Let the crystal waters flow amidst your fears As fragile as we are, we must feel We must live a life that is real.
