Yours to be Found

Let the winds hum the tune,
That I desire to sing,
Let the clouds dance about,
The way I yearn to,
Let the waves crash ashore,
In the way I want to,
And all I can hope for,
Is that one day I'll follow.

It may hurt if you fall,
It may pain you if you're cut,
It may prick that you're slayed,
Or even if you're last.

It may feel like thousand daggers,
Are stabbing you at once,
It may bleed if you stumble,
Or even when you're down.

But then through the darkness,
The web of confusion,
A single chance of hope,
A single ray of light.

It'll never last too long,
Mayhaps for just a second,
It'll tease you like a butterfly,
Fluttering past you only once.

But as soon as you see it,
The beauty of what could be,
The darkness seems too easy,
To conquer and defeat.

You may stumble and fall,
You may hurt and pain,
You may sadden and rage,
And even pricked and slayed.

But when you feel the pain,
You know you're on your way,
You know that at the other end,
That light of hope shall reign.

And even when we attain it,
It'll never last too long,
But in your heart you'll always know,
The light is yours to be found.
