CLOSE.......

So close,

But yet so far,

My arms are outstretched,

The blinding light guides me,

Who knows where I'll be lead?

All I can do is anticipate, that the end of the path isn’t far,

I now hold on to every vacant smile,

I comfort myself with all the lies,

I have no fear.

Why should I?

The next moment is ambiguous.

Courageous, I move through the crowd,

Their vacant faces try to entice me, drain me,

Every change might be trouble in disguise,

The world is cold, but warmth can be found only in you, my love,

You are a constant star,

Immovable---like the sun,

The steadiness of your love is comfort,

The uncertainty of life isn’t,

The silver lining is all but blinding me from the dark clouds that have gathered,

The wind blows with all its might and rattles my bones,

But the flame withstands everything, it burns,

The day is cold,

And the night, stormy,

Hold my hand honey,

Sit with me till the storm passes,

The battle is more reassuring when you have a hand to hold on to,

The razor sharp blades being right behind me,

Bounce off as long as you are with me,

Together we surmount the unbeatable,

Together we move towards a reality we choose….
