Pensive Power

There may be love in the world
In places seen and unseen
But I don’t see it, I don’t feel it.

Ice surrounds all those around
Frozen words from cold voices
Fatally taking you by the throat,
Jealously guarding all your choices.

Where is that shining light?
The one which guides the way.
Rumour says it changes
And warms and clears the gray.

It is there in front of us -
Plain in our sight for us to see
Why do we not see and reach?
Why do we turn and run?

We turn our faces to the light
We close our ears to the sound
Why do we wait for it to take us?
Why do we not just turn around?

The shining light is there
For all of us to take by the hand.
It will come and change all.
It will come to take the stand.

But will there be the ones
Who won’t wait to turn around?
Those that will accept reality
But still dream of something abound?

The few that can see the sky
Will be shunned as the mad.
They’ll join humanity and lie
Which could make them rather sad.

Because life isn’t that bad -
One can dream, one can love.
One can believe in the things above.

Wake up! Breathe in the new day!
Feel the love that warmly surrounds
See the beauty in new things
And hear, hear the new sounds!

There are those that are around
That do truly love and care
In all the good times and the bad
For true love doesnt come rare

So what’s to stop you?
From changin’ and turnin’ around?
To remove all those feelings
And allow the love and light to drown.

You’re alright now.
Just open your eyes
And look up to the skies.
