Within a Place

Am I here, am I there past my deepest lies? Did I stand to declare that the truth can’t hide? Did I fall to admit that I’ll never try? Or is there still a place where my love resides? All my ghosts speak of death but I’m still alive I can still smile on even though they thrive All I have is a name and the things inside But even after life’s games I will still survive I owe it to myself to never leave In a world of drowning I can still believe Holding on to it no matter what I see Through the water and blood I will always breathe Through the dust, death and loss I can still be me Too much searching has told me that this can’t be But on the edge of the river I’ll find myself Looking too deep I forgot my reflection’s there Patience and reason will be my eyes With every true intuition I will decide Through my own meditation I will realise Everything that’s still good is held inside
