Pause

Sometimes a thought can ease the pain,
Sometimes a moment can comfort the thought
And once in a while a drink will kiss your frown,
Making reality disappear and ghost reappear.
A Spring day will make you young again
After the Winter ages the spirit---
We strive to reach the top of the ladder
But what do you do, when you find the bottom at the top?
Pause
A moment in time for reflection,
Sleep and converse with God
For dreams mirror reality---
Reflecting the intimate thoughts of the soul.
Sometimes it takes tears to water Eden’s flowers
Sweet waters from the rivers of the heart
To quench the thirst of sorrow.
Pause
Love is repetitious,
It travels like the wind upon the leaves
That grow brittle when embraced by time,
This experience hardens like the memory of a man
And it will take the purest love to soften his heart.
Can you imagine the sun forever shining on the future
And the night never darkening the past?
Is it true that love ripples like the waves of the sea,
Reflecting the moon’s searching beams into eternity?
Pause
Someday, we all will face our own reality
But will we all be able to stand up to ourselves first?
Don’t be afraid, open your eyes and look into the mirror,
Wipe the tears from your reflection
And love Gods greatest creation.

Marcel
