Elixir of Life

In the fragility of dreams With my eyes wide open At the onset of daylight Crawling tint of lilac hues Sparkle dew drops on lilies Engulf my soul in blues To see the world alive I find myself wondering Of the desires buried Deep inside this fragile heart The forgotten people, The abandoned roads, The lost moments, The unhealed scars, The yellowed pages, All from my journey so far Make me feeble all day long With a darkness beneath daylight In the fragility of dreams With my eyes half closed At the onset of dusk When lavender sky illuminates Exhausted turquoise tides, Sweat-soaked memories Comfort my enervated soul Provide drowsy solace To my played out heart In the weariness of windows Too unyielding to be unfastened Yet willing to let the light inside The cocoon of my hopes Breathes half-heartedly May be not to fly but to survive Wrapped in the panacea of twilight In the fragility of dreams With my eyes meant to be closed I wake up on a glistening blue night A nostalgic halo opens the windows Clenched by my wavering anxieties I find my wings and spread them wide To fly afar through the elixir of night It reminds me of everything That had once been mine That could have been mine And that still is and will always be mine That all my life is but a circle Meant to be found around That nothing is ever lost If in my heart it will be found That my fragility heals my scars Strengthens my spirit Renews my pages To explore my roads Full of errors or glories That the hope on which I never give up And the love dripping over my soul Is my eternal elixir of life That when the day is over Night will always revive My wearied heart and memories Courage in my tenderness I find a waterfall of love and hope When my eyes are meant to be closed At night, in the fragility of dreams.
