Free...

If your world did come crashing down, (3:00 PM)

Or if your life’s completely at sea,

If the pyre of fate did thence ensue,

Its attack on you – the prey in sight,

I’ll feel for your pain, but you see,

There’s not much that I can do,

I have not the power to change fate,

To look beyond and see times to come,

For here I am, a little dot of life,

Amidst the ocean colors around,

For could I really change the wind,

Change the way life turned about?

But if there be a little dash of grey,

In your page of life – always so white,

If a sense of gloom did hold forth,

Defy your attempts to set it free

Then I shall show you the light of joy,

In little things that you could enjoy,

For hidden amidst the course of life,

Doth go unseen the remedy unseen

I make not promises that I can’t keep

I speak not words that I mightn’t follow

I dream not dreams I cannot achieve

But if there’s one thing – I believe in thee

So if there’s a thorn in your feet unseen,

I’ll look for it and try ease the pain,

If you know not what irks your soul,

Then let’s talk about it, let’s test time

If words can help you in your search,

For the source from which it does flow,

Fine strands of gloom that loom above

Making your world slow, weak, murky

I don’t claim to understand your life

I don’t proclaim to heal all your woes

But if you need to be heard out,

Or have someone reflect your thoughts

Look about and I shall be there

Together, we shall set your mind free (4:17 PM)
