Sometimes We Struggle

 

Sometimes we struggle

To understand,

Not realizing that

The band plays,

Not because

We are listening,

But because

It must play

To stay alive,

And the vibrations

That echo around

And around,

The teardrops it draws,

The feelings it

Freezes in warmth

And longing

Linger forever in time,

Teasing the actors

And mimes who

Climb on the stage

Over and over again,

Looking for themselves

In the pages of your eyes.
