&quot;You&#039;re only given one little spark of madness; you mustn&#039;t lose it.&quot;<br /> -Robin Williams


With every song comes emotion. And a story behind the words being sung in your ear.
The notes flow solemnly into you as memories and events pop up simultaneously.
The words play tricks on your mind
as the impossible comes true.
Those few songs you strike hard
sending me tumbling down.
They inflate through your body and fill you with that longing you hunger.
Its the map of my mind that sends me away.
In the blink of an eye,
the past begins to fade.
caught in a sea of despair.
Shine a light through the dark.
One more time.
Ive seen a million mistakes
Facing each one with dignity as long as they bring me closer to you.
The truth comes clear
To see that you are scared.
Ive been looking for you day and night.
If you see you're not alone.
If you hear the words that are sung for us.
If you open your eyes to the true emotion lying beyond the words being sung to us.
Maybe yours will find mine.
And the world will settle once again.
Just for us.
In the eye of humanism.

True poetry! Writing is a connection! I love how short and straight to the point it was and the word choice.
