Listen to my words
You may think me mad
Because new words bring new things
That you may have never had

A question that lingers
A question so sad
Six words I will write
you may wish I never had

Here is my question
The question so sad
What do you love the most
When the world has turned bad?

Can you answer my question
You may wish you never had
An open ended question
That could drive one so mad

I’ll tell you my answer
The answer to my question
While the sun boils the Earth
Listen

Place your hand on the Earth’s back
As you breathe in the air for free
Close your eyes and count to ten
There’s no way back for me

As the wind wraps your skin
In a blanket meant to hold
You safe from the world you stand on
A comforting kind of cold

With your hand on the Earth
Compassionate with hope
The Earth shows you kindness
With no end to your rope

When at night the moon shines
And the shadows become your friends
The Earth whispers a lullaby
Which stays with you past the end

Whilst the sun lies in slumber
And you lay there wide awake
The Earth whispers a lullaby
And the shadows gather for this date

Close your eyes little one for the world is closing in
And tomorrow will bring a new dawn for you to shimmer in
And now again the wishful tide is falling fast asleep
It’s time for you to rest little one and dream a dream so deep
A warrior must fight and suffer many losses
And listen to to voices that carry through the pain
Little warrior, your quest
Your quest is at an end
And to the sun a morning bell I very soon will send
A peaceful rest awaits in your land of hopes and wishes
And I will watch over you with peace and love, from me to you with wishes

Listen,
The words I wrote stay with me forever more
And guide me through my lonely life and through what’s in store
And now a question, six words I wrote, now answered by my mind
Hold my heart and give me your answer, if you would be so kind.
