We Are Poem by Lyrael Myrna

What’s the problem with a little spirit in your life?
To keep you smiling, dreaming, loving…
To keep you away from reckless nights

Gently
Endlessly
Searching for more…

We are
We are what you say
Living close
Yet hiding away
Shadows of life
Sneaking round the empty rooms
As you’re staring at the wine glass
We’re predicting your doom.

Never mind the whispers of dear fate
Luminescent clarity omitted
“Come closer… sadness is permitted”

We are
We are what you say
Living close
Yet hiding away
Shadows of life
Sneaking round the empty rooms
As you’re staring at the wine glass
We’re swallowing your gloom

Forgive me.
Dear child
Forgive me

Just because shadows loom
Doesn’t predict a life of gloom
We are your friends
Family
As well as
Your emotions combined
Traveling near
To pick up what’s behind

We are
We are what you say
Living close
Yet hiding away
Shadows of life
Sneaking round the empty rooms
As you’re staring at the wine glass
We’re swallowing your gloom
