Sighing Away

I close my eyes and I see; a broken smile that is me I close my eyes and I feel; an intangible light that makes it real. I open my eyes and I imagine; my broken smile completing I open my eyes and I touch; the reality that awaits me much. I close my eyes and I hear; the whispering winds which render all clear I close my eyes and I smell; the memories of times past well. I open my eyes and I listen; to the winds that leave my life glistened I open my eyes and I breathe; all the urging hopes of you indeed. It is a cycle of here and there, is and not, ignorance and care It is a cycle of haste and rest, true and false, worst and best. Difficult as it is, I still live through; complicated as it may get, I still wish it were true. One thing it is, to aspire and dream; another again, to silently scream. It is a cycle of yes and no, maybe and sure, why and so It is a cycle of ‘I think’ and ‘I feel’, ‘I want’ and ‘I must’, ‘I wish’ and ‘I have to deal’. It gets tougher and I lose faith; but it is alright, I can still wait My deepest fear is the end of it all; the loss of my faith and my patience’ fall It is a fairytale waiting to happen; that is what I have believed in It is the essence of life we all are looking for; that is what I have been thinking Let’s wait a little longer and pray a little more Hope for a few moments stronger and hold out till my feelings are sore Find me before the dawn breaks, find me before the magic is gone Find me before the spell turns to nothing, find me before the curtain is drawn.
