Rushes and Falls
As long as fire within your heart remains!

***
Your life gets lost, unmindful, unaware,
Amidst the endless “musts” that fill your days.
Have you forgotten love’s electric flair,
As a whirlwind sweeps you into its craze?
Its foam may try to drown you, drag you down –
You know you have the strength to rise above!
Imagined octaves, dark and out of tune,
Paint broken staves in melodies unloved.
The shattered notes grow silent, void of song –
For who can give your fleeting days anew?
An endless mist before you stretches long —
A weary soul, in gray and bitter hues.
You’ve sold your life, its compass cast aside,
For coins that leave a taste so sharp and dry.
Their flavor lingers, poisoning your stride,
And dims the spark still burning in your eyes.
Yet miracles are born in words so small,
A whispered hope, a friend’s unyielding care,
Or love that strikes with madness, breaking all,
And molds your days into visions bright and rare.
Recrafted life begins with daring dreams!
Look in the children’s eyes and see the flame.
Refuse to bow, no matter how it seems,
As long as fire within your heart remains!
Stretch out your arms to share a warm embrace,
So boundless, yet so deeply warming and kind.
Each daunting step feels like empty space,
But leads your paths to universes, undefined.

As incredible as it may seem, sometimes it just takes one step to show us a hundred new directions ahead…
