ITS A RAINY SOAKED NECK AFTERNOON,
A QUICK SQUINTED GLANCE SIDEWAYS TO ANOTHER OF LIFES DROWNED,
A BRIEF CALMING DRAG IN A MOMENT OF SHELTER,
LIFE AS ALWAYS MANAGES STILL TO ASTOUND.

AN OCCASSIONAL GRASP OF PANICKED AIR,
ECHOING A PNEUMATIC SOUND OF SILENCE,
AN AEROPLANE JETS BY VIA THE HEAVENS,
I GUESS MAN HAS PASSED THAT LICENCE.

MY HEARTS YEARNS FOR CALM,
LIKE A ZEBRA FELLED AND CAUGHT,
BY AN ALWAYS OVERPOWERING RELENTLESS TIGER,
WE JUST KNOW WE WILL BE OUTFOUGHT.

BUT FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE,
AND ITS PATHETIC TO GIVE UP,
TO THOSE OF US WHO ARE STILL TRUE TO LIFES CAUSE,
CONQUER WITHIN AND SHAPEUP.

FOR FEELINGS HAVE A HABIT OF CHANGING,
UNPREDICTABLE KNOWS NO END,
LIKE A SNOW COVERED MOUNTAIN CAUGHT IN A WHISPER,
TO THINK OF IT , LIFE IS A GODSEND.

FOR OUR MENTAL STATE IS FLUCTIONAL,
SOMETIMES EVEN OFF THE CHART,
FREQUENTLY MAKING A HELL OUT OF HEAVEN,
BUT LOVE IS ALL AROUND SO KEEP IT CLOSE TO YOUR HEART.
