Where's |

Where’s the rose of scent I love? The strength to help me rise above Where’s the smile or word of praise? To help me through this tangled maze Have my passions gone unseen? My dreams, the things that have not been Are my days just here to live? To question and then not forgive Have my needs all met a wall? That will not shift or move at all Are the ropes I cling too long? To stop me when I must be strong Where’s the well of fruitful bliss? I thirst for now and truly miss Where’s the spark that once did lite? The torch within to better sight I’m chained to day and habit’s way Cursed by dreams that ever stay Praying, asking what to do Before another day is through The answers lie behind a door On which I’ve knocked each time before But only voices faint I hear And what they say is never clear I feel our time’s a testing ground Where passion’s lost and strength is found Where a quota’s there to use But slowly; so to not abuse So everyday must go a way Which alters as we try to stray But somehow we are lured back Upon our road and given track Though questions in the mind do grow Answers we may never know Let us in our time with fate Question and the rules debate |

The answers lie behind a door On which I’ve knocked each time before But only voices faint I hear And what they say is never clear ~*~ This, I know, is all of the why I've left my questions to the sky to rain me answers some day soon, or just to visit, sun and moon Maybe no answers for my ears; if that is so, then I've no fear that someday soon I'll stand there too... and softly whisper, déjà vu ~*~ Rick, thank you for the inspiration this morning. This, and my coffee, were all I needed. |
