Shadows leak between the cracks Of a closed heart, afraid of breaking Shattering under imaginary demons A closed mind, unopened, unschathyed Hesitation, uncertainty, trepidation, trust Sealed away in the corners of the heart Protected by darkness, hurt by possibility Loneliness and isolation, the only solution Anxiety for the future remains unrest Hoping to cease not till death Screams and wails of vigilance Whispers and echoes of contingency The cage that carries invisible burdens Locks away fear, pain, chance, love Wisps of comfort swirl around iron chains A lock and a key, held in the same hand Escape the invisible prison of remorse Vanquish fears of pain and loss Embrace life with an open soul Take a risk on the universe’s call Unstoppable, courageous, confident A distant dream, a hopeless endeavor Now within grasp, turned into reality By the will of the heart and mind Experience life and all its wonders Let love and trust render the soul Let emotion and feeling paint the heart Release isolation and loneliness into the past Set the heart free and the soul will follow Let the mind wander, take hold of the universe Listen to the world, hear its sweet song Don’t be afraid of your own shadow

Shadows leak between the cracks Of a closed heart, afraid of breaking Shattering under imaginary demons A closed mind, unopened, unschathyed Hesitation, uncertainty, trepidation, trust Sealed away in the corners of the heart Protected by darkness, hurt by possibility Loneliness and isolation, the only solution Anxiety for the future remains unrest Hoping to cease not till death Screams and wails of vigilance Whispers and echoes of contingency The cage that carries invisible burdens Locks away fear, pain, chance, love Wisps of comfort swirl around iron chains A lock and a key, held in the same hand Escape the invisible prison of remorse Vanquish fears of pain and loss Embrace life with an open soul Take a risk on the universe’s call Unstoppable, courageous, confident A distant dream, a hopeless endeavor Now within grasp, turned into reality By the will of the heart and mind Experience life and all its wonders Let love and trust render the soul Let emotion and feeling paint the heart Release isolation and loneliness into the past Set the heart free and the soul will follow Let the mind wander, take hold of the universe Listen to the world, hear its sweet song Don’t be afraid of your own shadow
