a familiar light fills the sky,
not too bright but it brings alive,
the kids, the swings, the echo of teenagers giggling into life.

Picnics, couples and stolen kisses,
a world beyond your imagination,
you want to smile and be content,
the world is in harmony and you're its witness.

But,
your heart feels heavy,
a tank of emotions in terrible hurry,
the tears brim at your eyes and you worry,
'dear god, what more can I bury?'

Years of pain that you pushed away,
came out together and said
'hey, let's play'

But today is not about you.
Nor is tomorrow, nor the day after.

Wait in perfect patience and one day it will all end.
