Strive for happiness
Creating love
Narrow the corridor
That harbours anger
Let it sink deep into murky mud.
Never saw it coming
Never heard the cry
Maybe in the beginning
I didn’t understand
The reason why.
Now that is over and it seems
The clouds have begun to dry
I’ll take my happiness
And make love
The reason why.

I learn many things
I see many times
The world as it turns
Intertwines.
My heart knows a reason
To decline
The advances of the destructive
Filled with misery kind.
It comes from within
This loving gift coming from
The divine.

Everything is for a reason.
Not mine to wonder why.

When I hear your reason
See your reason why
Then it may answer
All the questions I know
I thought were seasoned lies.
No one can tell me
The answer
Nor
Will they look me
In the eye.
I just have to ponder
The reasoning beneath all
That clutters
Clouds the reason
The reason why.

Winding thru
The intertwined
Difficult to see the reason
Or the sanity.
Scary
Step one step before the other
Thoughts meshed with a coldness
A shutter.
Question only
When I get thru
Will I be able to come back
To save another?

Couldn’t see the reason
Couldn’t know the why
Had to be the person
That stood and let it by.

There lies the reason that I cry
No, not the one you’d think
But the reason
That makes me cry and cry.
Whenever I smile
Laugh and go ahead
Something in the back
Holds oh so much
Awful, awful dread.
Makes me cry
Makes me shed
Tears not of happiness
But
Those of monster dread.
Seek and find the reason
That I cry
Seek and find the reason
I feel like I want to die
When I think
Of that dreadful reason
That makes me cry and cry.
Bring it to the open
Expose it to the light
No more hidden
In the darkness of tear light.
Change those tears
And cry’s of sadness
To ones crying
In ecstasy and delight
My life will then not be hidden
In the darkness of tear light.

We are here for a reason.
We live for a reason.
To find that reason is our life’s journey.
