Dear Chance - the Letter
Morakane...
Dear Chance
Can you stretch your hand
Put it on my infant heart
Put it on my amateur heart beat
Can you sense and feel the inexperience of my breath
Can you sense and feel my ears are deaf
Chance can you wait and let me strengthen my bones
Chance can you wait and let me wipe my eyes
Chance can you wait and let me close all the holes of yesterday
Disappointments
Chance can you wait and look
My broken dreams of beauty are on the floor
Chance can you wait and give me a chance to grow
I am looking forward to meet you again
From the one who can't take chances
Itux...
Dear Chance
Can you wait and listen to my mouthspeak
So many thoughts i have for you
So many wishes i have made for you
So many smiles i have seen you cheris,but mine
So many hearts you have healed,but mine;
My infant heart
So small and still beating
You curiously dance slowly to its limping lame beat
Beat by beat
My caring seem so desolate in your sight
You give me no chance to defend my fragility
You cloud me with thoughts of defeat
You squeeze out in me,pain and tears of deceit
Chance can you feel my strength?
Or sense the presence of my weakness
To lift my hand,carefully wiping your tears of sadness
Chance can we forget the breaths of yesterdays
That sowed holes to what seem to be days before today
Forgetting the hurt of yesterweeks of time
Burying all in dunes of disappointments
Wipe your tears away,your beauty still bears itself
I waited my chance
Now its your time to grow
Till we meet the day after ''again''
From the one who took chances
