When does a shadow turn to sunshine?
When does the sky cease to cry?
When will I find my meaning, my belonging, the only reason I am here?
Will my time come to an end before it even begins?There comes a time we find ourselves in,
When nothing is clear, but everything is here.
Will I ever find a reason to why the seasons change?
I learned, no, I am learning,
The questions pondered on,
Why does the lion roar and how does the eagle soar?And I, feeling lonely, but oh, surely not,
Full of laughter and memories, why can't I remember?
And yet we human beings so full of pain and beauty,
We think we're so alone, but are we really?From the highest mountain to the never-ending ocean to the deepest valley,
How is it even possible to feel this way?
And then again, we look at the shadows covering the Earth,
And we finally see the sunshine,
But will we ever truly see it?
One can only dream...
