How Can I ...

 

Voices

Whisper in the breeze

Promises of hope.

How can I hear,

When savage storms

Rage in my soul?

 

Thoughts

Echo through the silence

With images of tomorrow.

How can I see,

When endless rains

Blur my vision?

 

Feelings

Penetrate the darkness

With tales of love to come.

How can I care,

When eternal winter

Petrifies my heart?

 

Wishes

Ride on dying stars

Spreading scent of Spring.

How can I notice,

When the ashes of my dreams

Still smolder...everywhere?

 

Peace

Awaits beyond the Edge

Promising an end to all.

How can I refuse,

When my soul lies dying

On the battlefield of life!
