I have no songs to sing
No verse or melody
I lay awake tonight

I have no dreams to dream
Not even fantasy
I lay awake tonight

Stars hang heavenly
Falling like rain
On me

Now pouring down
Sky flowing into
The sea

There’s only black-blinding light in my eyes
An eternal thin line that divides earth from sky

Where do I go from here?

Looking for love in the smallest of places
Paralyzed till the black becomes faces

I began to sing

Something about a dream
Of wide open spaces
And fairy silk laces
You’ll cover me

When I close my eyes
Tonight

I like the way this rounds back
to song...

Thank you, Robert.

Very true to life...  I think everyone has "been there - done that" with this experience.  Enjoyed it greatly!

Looking for love in the smallest of places

yes, we have all been there....

it takes each of us so long to realize, doesn't it...each in our own time

yes, loved the way this went back to brightness and smiles...

well done!
