Sunlit Glee

How I wish upon Tomorrow to see you smile and lock hands With me…with me…and go ahead of me – put your doubts and worries to bed! Borrow happiness from me instead! You don’t have to return it back – If it’s something you lack…come on and open up a crack! Your hands as cold as ice in Antarctica…it’s frostbitten and I freeze to the bone You’re concealing this warmhearted soul within you…do you want to be left alone? But, I won’t leave you without a trace, hiking this mountain on your own! I know it’s dying to come out without a doubt like the dawn, Shyly pushing away nightfall by projecting the sun in the sorrow-whelmed skies, Giving us sunlit glee…converting into flourishing ecstasy – God has my back! Put your heart at ease and make Depression your slave – Desert it forever and pick a different route to tread on…self-control keeps me on track Oh! Perhaps, you were naturally made for me, but I must behave I’ve had harder days than you – I’ve been through so much worse Are you a refined, splendid gift or are you just another wretched curse? You restored peace to my verse, angel of ambitious bliss, spreading about good news with glorious grace! (I can see your halo, spinning around and round and round your head like hovering auras) Though I was tattered and torn by remorseful spirits, you were my childlike mirth – You and I dismiss the blues and we figure out the mystery’s many clues, placing our feet in other people’s shoes with empathy traced on our face! I put my daily worries and distrust to sleep… I can see you weep…I want you to have half of my sunlit glee, so you can be brave and truly... free The laments hits us too deep…I’m out of luck…I thought I was a loving creep by your side, a stranger, walking alone on the road of recovery But, I was enchanted by the mirror and what it reflected with jubilation that’s as shiny as a silver, noble sword – A new spirit, radiant with compassionate, elegant elation …my heart beats in accord Open up your mind and your heart for a change Please don’t hesitate, For, you aren’t pushing the limits If I were yours, I wouldn’t be drawing near to depression I wish I can see you – I long for you like a sundrenched sight You are an angel, sprinkling upon me delight, allowing me to take divine flight My heart no longer pounds violently with fright I don’t hear it reverberating in my brain – you’re my illuminating light You are the new spirit, radiant with compassionate, elegant elation …your heart beats in accord I can still hear your violin voice, ringing in my head like church bells in the dead of night or like a broken chord You're as sharp and mighty as a sword, gracefully stabbing the enemy of darkness You shed your sunlit glee upon me gratefully - now, I have the attitude of gratitude and my spirits are merrily dancing with happiness! At last! I'm unchained from this mystifying, spooky, and avarice-polluting abyss
