fauxcroft

I am living on the edge of life 

Not knowing what’s wring or right 

Contemplating the life we lead,

Living life at full speed

And my head is spinning round

And I feel so lost and found

I feel alienated by my mind.

Consciously awakened I still find,

Certain thoughts they remind

Me of how fragile we are

And how home is way far off,

Among stars and places we’ve not heard of

And I look up at the skies

And I wonder what it would be like,

To sail the universe in search of love and hope.

But here I am for all I am worth

Weakened by age and long suffering hurt,

Yet still smiling at the thought

That I am still standing here defiant.
