Dwelling
All I want is for you to come and see me so that we can carve out our final destiny, the moment keeps drifting by and the shadows are moving swiftly in the benevolent sky; my heart is pounding and my spirit is travailing in the deep while whispers of hope dances silently in the breeze and the light inside me burst out in a ball of flame and the world stood silent around me.
I could feel the shadows of the night pressing me into the wall and poking me in my gut. It stretched me beyond my limit and there is nothing that could do but bear the night’s punishment and slowly raise the alarm. I cling to my inner soul and watch the shadows fades into the fleeting night while courage stood boldly by my side.
All I want is for you to come so that we can have fun, we will cook on coal fire by the stream and share our heartfelt dream and watch the children play while the heavens steal your heart away.
It is the unspoken words that I cannot hear and your silence that cause my sprit to fear. It is the words that I have never spoken and the passion that I have never shared that eats me up inside and the wisdom that is tied up in your shoe lace has caused my heart to break. I can see deception dripping from your lips and the rulers dragging you down in the pit but mercy keeps holding your hands.
I can hear the water running in the stream and the reindeer standing in the bush with its anther erected in the air sending a symbolic message. It looked from side to side with frightened bulging eyes speaking to you from a distance while mercy sings a pleasant song.
I don’t know where else to turn, the universe is going to burn and I have to stand up strong to push back the deceitful hands. I felt something resting on top of my head but I could not tell where it originates from, I could not hear anything around me except for human voices that keep fading, and I suddenly enter another world filled with well-dressed people celebrating their destiny.
All I want is for you to come and see me so that we can go over the final plans to complete the circle and march with the crowd all over the land.
