[hometext] => There is something that I feel, but which I could not decipher exactly.
[bodytext] => I could not see what I could not know Could not hear what I could not understand Could not talk what I could not dream of And should the heavens pour down on me Should they but eat my heart out I should with a little cry Rigid and dignified For no more am I this expressive. Should you melt my heart into a thousand stones Should you now know that this is the way I now am I should not beg, should not live to dream in sleepless nights When over my bed, I turn my bedraggled face to the moon And from there, happy as I thought the moon would grant me thee. Should not I talk of the past Just now I had learnt and stopped from doing that The moment I did it And I am proud, am satisfied That I could do what I thought I could not. Life at shore So serene, so beautiful You are my heart’s dearest And never could I behold a view so true Everyday is something new, something To smile at, to see your wooden stilts in water Holding, not exactly strong but persistent Against the waves Against my heart who sometimes thinks, what if? Orange is my favourite colour The sky today is a tribute to passion Awakened, of a zeal to succeed And to know, that between fate and persistence Is the insecurity which never could leave completely. But then we are only human To err, to forgive divine It is the essence of the spirits The feel of the breeze against my skin The howl of the waves murmuring its song. Let me go Let me be Or perhaps Let me stay. Say nothing And I like it best, When you say nothing at all. I heave a big sigh What am I trying to say, trying to do? Should I not crawl, walk and climb to achieve To know that I have tried but failed Thus I could say goodbye Knowing all is used. Or should I wait, rely on intuition and go with the flow Calmly, gently there Dance with the wind, swim with the tide Thus I could say, it would not come to me Knowing I had not fought fate. What? What? As the world turns to the other side, And as I lay against the trunk of a palm I close my eyes, not wanting to think, not now, at Least not for the next minute When I know the world is slowly turning To the other side, I see the magic in itself There is more than that which meets the eye. Thus I bade a beautiful view farewell With the feel of this moment, With the feel of now No answers do I have But I shall be content for now.
