Alive Poem by Lubna Hazeem

I had a chat with a man called destiny
Who wore the clothes of itchy despair
He said he lost track of his enemies
While wandering off to lands of nowhere
He asked what i had in mind
He had troubles reading my thoughts
I said all my conscious was dry
Now all my conscious is lost

He jumped up to his feet
Of contagious disbelief
He ran off and disappeared
Before i had the chance to reply
He once was all colored in gel
Now he's no more than ourselves
Living the silenced hell
Chained in another life

Unraveling the thread of a question
How are we going to reach him now
How are we going to bring him out
All the walls around are being pulled down
To rest...

While we ask ourselves
While you ask yourself
Just because you have the beat
Just because you wake to sleep
Does it make you alive,
Alive now?
Just because you tap the link
To fix a wrong in everything
Does it make you alive,
Alive now?
Go round, go round
Close your eyes
It might be easier tonight
Go down, go down
Blow your cries
It might be easier tonight

When the stars shine about
The hope that lingers out
And you stare at them to moan
Than fade to be found

Ah, when enlightening destiny shines around
You stand up to lift your head above the ground
So long to my weeping sleepy sound
This is where i belong now
In your arms where im warm
Where you hold me tight to hold me strong
It's the touch you grow that keeps me on
I don't want to lose that touch ever again....
Never again.....
