Everything Beautiful

[wordsmith]

I walk through the hall
Watching sunlight from the window.
Throw shadows on the wall
And in my minds eye, I see a moment
From yesterday reaching for me.
As thunder joins the rain
I’m hiding my tears again.

Do I hear laughter on the wind
As I catch your perfume,
As light as a butterfly’s wing.
Holding me carrying me high
Joining the clouds up in the sky.
And always a whisper asking me why,
Everything beautiful touches us
Before passing by.

Loves kiss delicate incomplete,
Like a fallen leaf on an autumn street.
Footsteps in puddles sighs in the rain,
Remembering something then hiding the pain.
Searching for answers through someone else’s eyes
Losing you but needing you, as time passes by.

When was I young, how long ago
When does our childhood stop
And how do we know.
I cross a bridge looking for someone
Someone I knew, a train rumbles by
Then I hear footsteps could it be you.

Eyes closed we hold onto special moments
Some of them fading, but what can we do.
On the banks of the river dragonflies glide,
I look away and remember
Knowing the truth I can’t hide.
Words that were spoken promises made,
Then watching them broken on cold winter days.

So I’m walking away nothing much left to see,
Now I have set my yesterday’s free.
Can I smile again can I be me.
The rain keeps on falling joining the sun,
Voices so far away sound like they are having fun.

Now I turn up my collar it’s time to go home,
Knowing that I am no longer alone.
All too soon I face the night and sometimes I dream,
Then as tomorrow breaks through....

I walk through the hall
Watching sunlight through the window,
Throw shadows on the wall.
Holding me carrying me high,
Joining the clouds way up in the sky.

And always a whisper asking me why,
Everything beautiful touches us
Before passing by.
Loves kiss delicate incomplete,
Like a fallen leaf on an autumn street.
