In the Midnight of Our Lives

In the midnight of our lives. Through clarity eyes, I find what I am seeking. Through no desire to fall in love, I free myself of necessity. I once was strong of heart, but now I am a weakling. Life has always been a struggle, But I will not let it get the better of me. In a world without love we would all live without reason. Freedom of the mind is a journey on a search for enlightenment. I speak only for myself, expressing the view of one person, But I wish to become a voice for the voiceless And say what needs to be said. Spirits fly through my mind And they have vanished before they are found, But they lift me from the ground And allow me to float inside a cloud. The certainty of uncertainty, is as sure as calamity. Think nothing of the compliment I give to you, It is well deserved and truly A reflection of your heart And the love you have shown me with your words. On this star-crossed Earth, we are doomed to forever serve. But somehow we survive, late into the nighttime of our lives And in our midnight hour, we leave this land we have walked upon And become eternal before God’s eyes. Heaven takes us in and removes all of our sin. We win, we are forgiven; We smile now we are all kin. Peace, love and empathy shall become our reality; In the world we dream of, it exists alongside charity. It becomes the norm; it is written, promised and sworn. Love is the reason I was conceived; Love is the reason I was born. I am an angel, walking with the living And I love you all. (C)2016 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
