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
