Hiding

Are you so afraid
To dream the dream
I set before you
That you close your eyes
At night, and dream for
Less, only to find sleep
Aren't you now awake
Unable to find rest
Until the light pierces your lids

One, two, one two

Today is not
yesterday, I fear
it may be better

...

What a joy
To be heard
Truly heard

What a wonder
To be known
Before speaking

...

Overjoyed but currently overwhelmed
Listening to you speak I feel the pressure
Of being the man I felt I ought to be
When I met the woman I ought to be with

...

All that is past has already passed on
Dead, deceased, unable to speak to us
All they have left us are words
For us to do with as we may

Being angry at the past for not being in our present
Is like being angry with the dead for not living on
Even if they left us with a surmounting task
It is our job to give life to their best wishes
