what is the reason

yesterday’s wisdom

didn’t leave the room

stayed undisclosed on the shelf

life’s happenings

tucked in

the safety of a drawer

stored

for another day’s view

poetic lines didn’t fall this time

rather words

short

sharp

& curt

expressing loss & pain

reaching

hoping

to attain

reasoning

why fear follows 1

why dread accompanies

what is the reason for this

what is the reason

seasons change so easily

winds from warm to cold

exposed skin now wrapped in clothes

an ocean of emotions

spilled upon the shore


i will save you

i will save you

no matter where hurt lies

if it is only a tear that is shed

or if it is a cry

i will save you

i will save you

no matter where hurt lies

if it is fear that burdens

or apprehensive sighs


look no further

i stand before you

willing

to carry

the weight

the burden

the hurt

the pain


what is the reason

what is the reason

that smile

warming my heart

a painless laugh

that sets 1 free


so smile

& laugh

with me
