Performing Magic With Words Poem by Gert Strydom

I tried to perform magic with words
but I could not find the right ones
and somewhere along the way
I had almost lost my faith in our love

but still I remained true
while the thunders did roar about me
and I feel as if the darkness
was about to devour me

and still I did care,
kept faith in all of the tomorrows
that still has got to come

and maybe I took everything too seriously,
as if our love was a solution to everything

and now I do wonder
if you do still believe
that everything will come right

when with empty hands,
with only words and love
I stand before you?
