Is
Is
a headache a thought that you just can’t solve
When
the answers come then all is well
It
disappears and you don’t even feel when it left
You’re
back to yourself and your thoughts are clear
Is
happiness that feeling eluding your grasp
Until
you’ve put to bed all those demons in your past
She
won’t find your heart until you’ve done the work
Only
then can faith and hope find its way to you
Is
loneliness a weight that once it’s worn
You
get comfortable in it like your favorite clothes
Even
when something else better comes along
You
find it hard to change into something new
Since
you now inhabit that feeling and its part of you
Is
regret that bitter pill you swallow every day and night
Words
you can hardly even now remember
You
play them in your mind over and over
And
you’re the one who’s still haunted by her
While
you wallow in the arms of despair
She’s
somewhere happy and so much in love
Is
love that dream at the end of rainbow
Our
own pot gold we don’t want to share
Open
your arms too wide and it might disappear
Hold
it too tight and you will take its life
Let
it breathe on its own and its kiss will be yours to keep
Is
life that existence you’ve taken a cursory glance at
Viewed
it with disdain sometimes and gone back to your shell
There’s
a shade of light creeping through your armor
If
you allow it past your gates
Allowing
it to touch to the deepest part of your soul
Maybe
you too will know God’s greatest blessings
In
abundance they will come if you’re receptive
Let
the light shine through
Feel
the warmth of love living inside of you.
