Do you allow the fear to win?
When all it takes is a no.
–
Do they use their saws?
To plunder tbe air we breathe.
–
Dont your words refect?
The island of your dreams
Where beauty evolves
Among the imagined fear.
–
Would you think like they do?
When all they know is wrong
Because it doesnt come from
Where your imagination holds
The hand of your thoughts
–
Do you not love the image?
Reflected in the mirrors eye
Revealing the tale you tell
The one you are to you
–
Does love not realise?
The battle it must win
Wbere hearts trail in scattered
Lines of hope lost among the
Sands of lives forgotten tears
–
Do you forget your past?
The sunny picnic fields
–
Do you not forget the past?
The tears the fears the hate
–
Do you not learn the lesson?
The reason we need to fail
–
Do you forget the lesson?
The failure you used to succeed
–
Does the frown over awe?
The struggle of the smile within
–
Does your touch upon the eartb?
Not reflect the gentle soul of you
–
Do you refuse a gentle word?
To make the sad ones smile
–
Do you kill and maim and hate?
Not live and heal and love
–
Do you queastion the unwise?
When they see it as a challange
To overcome their previous best
–
Do i not see the you?
The real one beneath the cloud
