Recently I've been failing to see the colour
Like an old movie something seemed to be missing
The lucsious greens no longer appeared
The vibrant pink petals left my vision
All I could see was the harshness of the grey winter skies
But as the seasons changed
So did my mind
I could see the colour once again
On a day like this
Everything makes sense
There is not one doubt in my mind
Happiness is bliss

Sometimes I do not want to sleep
Because then the dreams will come
Then maybe in those dreams, I could get lost
And never escape...

The shadows have long departed
Clouds obscure the night sky
There is not one star in sight
What a great night it is
To be daydreaming inside
I can only imagine what I could be
I could be beautiful
Or I could be nothing
These words may let me see
If only I could write me back to life
I could write forever
No distractions or illusions
I can finally be me

My eyes wandered onto a lonely highway
Only a few headlights remained
They dawdled like fireflies in a midnight sky
Moments like these are few and far between
But when these occur, I feel alive
I can dream

I see you hurting
I can hear the worry when you talk
I can feel the coldness when your sad
I can see the pain when you sleep
The stress of waking up means rest will never come
Those black rings are so willing to consume
They circle your eyes
And hold on until you let go

I have trouble letting go too
But it will never stop the love I have for you
Without you, my mind would be a mess
Because of you, I worry less

The mind wanders
Towards the empty blue
Even in winter
Some flowers bloom
Soft pinks and oranges show not all life is lost
A few remaining cicadas buzz while tuis sing their songs
The grass is still green
Sometimes it rains for days
Leaving puddles to glisten when night becomes day
The sun beckons
Not yet too harsh
The mind wanders on this type of day
It is moments like these when the pain fades away
