Trust your heart, when the seas catch fire. And live by love, though the stars walk backwards.

I’d like to see the world without dark pages.
The sunset in your words.
The stars in the spaces.
A cloud not in sight, the moon big and bright.
I’d like to see the world without shark faces.
The happiness all around.
The joy shooting from the sky.
A smile across your cheeks, only to last for weeks.
I’d like to see the world with warm blood in the hearts.
My words start to stumble.
My mind’s in a crumble.
The rain has just began.
The race, has been ran.
I’d like to see the world with nothing but what it’s got.
Because what you’ve got is great.
And what you don’t, well that’s great too.

I came up this while in a sad time, where everything seemed to fall apart. In a way, it gives me hope; Hope that everything in this world can be okay, if we want it to be.
