Where else could I be?
Past regrets call to me
Yet I cannot change
Anything I used to be
Where I may wander
Here and yonder
I choose only today
Though I may ponder
And I am still here
Regrets may appear
Yet I cannot change
Anything else but here
Stoic
Many things may never change
A merry go round year to year
Spun so fast we fall away
In a spinning world of day to day
Scuffles upon the monkey bars
With every year we show the scars
No recess here in this playground
Lessons taught but lies abound
So I will take my ball back home
The game was sometimes fun to play
Bruised and broken I have found
Little fun in this playground
Stoic
And though the light will fade
All the words we said
Will remain
And though the darkness comes
All our time as one
Will remain
And though our days run out
All those we cared about
Will remain
Stoic
When temporal love falls
Only singular love remains
In quiet moments
In the hushing rain
When time loses meaning
Only we now remain
In this soft moment
In the silence again
I have travelled with a map
I became lost in this sea
Where charts failed
Floundering
Sailing into unknown waters
Adrift upon the tides
I learned of unknown lands
I found shores never seen
Where tales were born
Resounding
Sailing, the back broken
I now reside
I visited and left
I found no solace
Where legends promised
Fists pounding
Sailing berthed for now.
Stoic
Pass with sweetness
Being love and kindness
Leave no footprints
Upon hearts
Travel so lightly
Leave no foul trace
Being a light
In the dark
Pass with humility
Being grace and forgiveness
Leave no scars
Upon hearts
Stoic
Born and raised in a magical place
My heart pulled for a lifetime
Taken from my home too young
Now it is time, at last
To return to the cradle
To where I began, and will end
A wanderer, all of my life
What I searched for I knew
To my home I will return.
Stoic
