Beauty In Thy Eyes

Time drifts by with waves of undertow... Standing on the abyss teetering to and fro Fate determines left or right Back or forth Front or Center Stepping to the precipice without wonder Dreams evaporated into thin air A mere marionette dictated by the winds of fate No more the captain of my ship No more filled with exuberance Allowing the winds of chance to charter my course Fear of leaving the shore Allowing the winds of chance to dictate my steps Oh hollow being inside calling all the shots Where have you gone my strong will Has life taken the will away Have I allowed it to be so Can the winds of fate be truly challenged In youth I knew it to be so... Now overwhelm takes it toll Dictates of the past not indicative of the future Whisps of change no longer welcomed Plant my feet firmly on this hollowed ground. Winds of fate be damned I will not bend Perhaps in the end there is no choice I knee down holding tightly to what was Afraid of what can become. Oh winds take me into thy vortex Spin me around to a new beginning. Take all the pain evaporate it into mist upon the sea.. Let me fly like a bird freely of disease. Let me dance in fields full of daffodils swaying limber,free, and smiling.. Transport me to my former being For all my will have failed All my inner strength evaporated into nothingness All hopes and dreams in the past. Give me a glimmer of hope Inspire me to be a fraction of my former self Let me live away from pain. Carry me to the horizon of peace, joy, and homeostaticness Oh deep night let me rest in peace. Let me dance freely. If only for brief moments.
