Three Long Years in Silent Tears


I ran and ran through tortured life
I tried to live, to fight the fight
I tried so hard I broke my heart
Forgot myself in daily chant

To knife and peace I tried to flee
To join the dreams alive in me
But stopped by chance and inner voice
Came back to life, in part by choice

***

I fixed myself and found the help
To make me laugh and like myself
I let my life now run its course
I flew like wind from secret source

***

But now again come hidden dreams
Alive once more in silent screams
Back to knife and death I turn
To find the life for which I long

My life has turned again to death
I live for now with borrowed breath
I know that soon to love I’ll turn
The love of dreams and hope to learn
