LOYAL

change

The flowers have wilted under Mother Nature's grey blanket;
My tears can't revive them no more than the rain could.
The leaves are crisp, no brittle, at best;
If I stood on them, they'd die, they will, they would.
I don't want to be the one who's always sad;
I've had enough; take this pain away; is that too much to ask?
The clothes on my back are torn to pieces;
Just like my soul; heavy for the world to witness.
Where can a man go to die?
If ever a place is quiet; it's the night.
But I know this too shall pass;
But, right now, that sounds like nonsense.
Let me go, let me breathe;
Let me go, let me breathe.

This room has four walls, just like any other;
But, one light switch; engulfs me with wonder.
What will happen if I press it?
Will an alarm go off? Will someone come running?
I want to know, so I walk slow;
No rush, no where to go.
As anti-climactic as boring sex;
Nothing happens, it doesn't even click.
I sigh, disappointed again;
What's new? What's different? Nothing, nothing,

A walk in the park will do me good, so I think.
Nature always listens to me.
I can hear the birds making friends;
And the kids feeding them with bread.
And in that moment, I could've died;
A sudden shock to my heart; I am alive.
Change can be lethal;
But it can also be peaceful.
A masterpiece on an easel;
An eradication of an evil.

And there it is;
The kaleidoscope sky, pastel and vibrant; day succumbs to night.
But it's beautiful, it's sincere;
Its just how I imagined, it's here.
Molecules of me dance into the dark;
But I have confidence that they will never forget what they are;
Creations of prose, angels of poetry;
The heart of imagination; the whole of me.
Finding solace in silence;
And calm in chaos;
I have a chance;
A chance to get lost.
What a beautiful thing change is;
It's wonderful, it's magical, it's perfect.
