something higher

By tequila sunrise

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

when this fleeting limelight fades and were alone again what name will your heart speak? what is true? what is real? not what you feel what you know eternally ten years running blind and aimlessly warming by the fires of bridges burning ten thousand peering eyes that can only see the show, the smile, the face i allow how many more break beneath the surface? young and bold, but blind and led by blind His person missed beyond His name was this the hope when we began? a tragic generation of faithless children and forgotten love? i know id hoped for some other, higher purpose  something higher something higher i want to be real again Written February 13th, 2002 © on Feb 13 2002 02:58 AM PST   0 • 10
