Standing Still
smell the summer eve as light turns to dusk look over the urban houses and past the humans
faces looking to the sky
inhale deep trying to find peace. tears roll down in sorrow and longing perhaps one day the
long away peace will come
will the answers come if you seek or will the truth tear you apart questioning all you believe
only if the sky is heaven and the raindrops that fall are reminders of hope, of love, or letters
messages sent down below to those on earth trying to recoup all that is lost
to move on to let time ease the wounds that never seem to fade
yet somehow if the hurt fades and the anger goes will your face be wash away when i close
my eyes?
like chains of grief that bind me and your the key
will the key ever come to let the chains fall away
