LIFE IS A METAPHOR

I have this strong feeling
An urge to be right
Not making mistakes with my life
I want to live forever
For ever young
But time passes like wind
Behaving young looses meaning
A forever youth is a biological impossibility
What is youth? Is it a mind set or an age
What is life if death has the last smile over the flesh?
Life is a question

Life must have a purpose
But what is that purpose?
Search for a purpose is an imagination
An ideal lost like a shadow getting into a light
But life tastes better in this loss
Is purpose self created or God given?
It is an ideal set do high above sight
A philosophy impossible to share
Life is faith
Hope in more than a fleeting flesh

My life must count
In this life and beyond my living years
Certainly time is forever but life on Earth is a deep wish it were
Since it not, it matters that we are together
Thanks to Sana we are not alone
Wondering in the wild like we never lived
Our stories will be told for someone after us
The songs we wrote will be sung
People will hope we will be somewhere in the sky listening
Prayers will be made for us
Our voices and words will still be respected
Life is company

Life is nothing
Life is what you have made it
It is a gift
Given for nothing
But it is everything
Life is a metaphor
What you say it is
It shall be

WHEN WORDS WOULDN'T SPEAK

When words have nothing to say But the heart is full What would speak for you? What would speak to you? When the quiet of a heart And the sound of a meldy Would resonate with your truth That words could never say When you have to quietly shout to the world Silenltly tell your story What would speak to you? What would talk to you? When the chrip of birds And the rumbling of a waterfall Would not speak to you When quiet would not do What would speak to you? What would talk for you? What would authentically tell the world your story Authentically Not hiding a single note of the rhythm of your heart What would tell the world your desire Your fears and terror What would speak to you? What would speak for you? An old melody That holds a memory A sound that holds a longing That knows the notes of your heart Would that speak for you? Would it speak to you?

THE PARADOX

The fact that the reason to hold on is bigger than the reason to give up Does not trivialize your pain The fact that you neither shed a tear nor made a sound Does not mean you never cried The fact that you smiled all through the ceremony does not mean you were happy The fact that you are alive and happy Does not mean you aren't dead A strange ghost animating your body Not your dream self The fact you woke up with a plan Does not mean you aren't drifting through life The fact that you love a song Does not mean it makes you happy The fact that you woke when the alternative seemed lucrative Tells that you have outsmarted the paradox once more

DARK

He sits alone in a silent corner of a dark room Trying to make sense of everything Everything is senseless at that moment Life seems to be worth everything Yet everything is worthless in his eyes He wonders why God had to make life in the first place and hopes it is not blasphemy No one wants to step on the toe of God more so those who hope heaven will offer a better home He is ashamed to admit that deep down he longs to be home Home is not this dark room filled with self doubt, anxiety and sorrow Home is where in the least he feels nothing Everyday he tells people to keep hoping but he  has lost all hope The only hope he has is that he will one day hope again Not hope to be rich or famous But to be happy for just a moment He hopes to slip over on his happiest day That is his dream He calculates how best to make his wish come But such days are to pracious to waste on fatal thinking He looks up to God Hoping not to offend Him and he prays for hope He prays that someone would listen ...
