Ian Petch Poet Lyric

Within a Place

Am I here, am I there past my deepest lies?
Did I stand to declare that the truth can’t hide?
Did I fall to admit that I’ll never try?
Or is there still a place where my love resides?

All my ghosts speak of death but I’m still alive
I can still smile on even though they thrive
All I have is a name and the things inside
But even after life’s games I will still survive

I owe it to myself to never leave
In a world of drowning I can still believe
Holding on to it no matter what I see
Through the water and blood I will always breathe

Through the dust, death and loss I can still be me
Too much searching has told me that this can’t be
But on the edge of the river I’ll find myself
Looking too deep I forgot my reflection’s there

Patience and reason will be my eyes
With every true intuition I will decide
Through my own meditation I will realise
Everything that’s still good is held inside
