Things As It Is

Glasses shattered Soul fractured Calamity strikes Hearts restless Pain endless Darkest night Hands quivering Cold and shivering Feeling to die Is there any beauty? Any high? Ever? Small moments of bliss Of things as it is Breaking the lies A child with a smile Green grass for a mile Willing to try A rainbow in clouds Light all around All of it mine Steps on a floor A wide open door Time for life But why? Why strive? Notice Life is beautiful Life is better And that’s enough To reach the sky
