To Love, To Live

Clouds in the eyes Mist in the heart Warmth turned to ice Dreams turn to sand Like water in hands Seeping through fingers Out of control The mind a whirlwind of thoughts Words a tsunami of emotion Life is not always fair A myriad of disappointments Blowing in the winds of despair To love, to live, to write Swelling oceans running down cheeks Dreams a whisper in the wind Snatched away with technicalities Withholding what was meant to be Power play the game Domineering throwing around weight A thought positive Still standing tall above it all Shining brighter than before Determined and confident A ray of sunshine giving hope Every cloud has a silver lining Smile in the eyes Radiance on the face Patience a true virtue No holds barred Victory in sight! 02:03:12
