I can’t shake the sadness
Of the strangulation of time
It creeps around my lungs
As my mind frantically searches for memories
Do I have enough? Why are they so vague?
We haven’t had enough time!
You don’t stride away confidently
You are as unready as I am
Fearful of the unknown
Whilst surrounded by those that are so assured
With age you are finding fear
Like a choking smoke screen
Blurring the beauty of the world in front of you
Trust me as I push you into the fog
Into the allurement of the haze
For it is as wondrous as you deserve
Explore without fear
For I am here, standing on the outside
Holding your angst and trepidation
Tread carefully but firmly
Open your eyes to all that you may see
And feel your heart filling
Your soul thriving
And your spirit flourishing
Trust in me
As I believe in you
