Then Again…

She speaks to me
All the things I want to hear
In an angels voice, too soft to be real
Amazing grace, from times that stand still
In my mind
Can I keep this for all time, she asked, when I said yes
And she claimed..
Then again..then again, there might be something more. And I can’t only stop and stand. I have to leave the life I know.
I cried out for heaven’s hold. Please take me away, oh lord. I’m ready, willing. These days grow old. A breeze pushed me over. I looked up to god in vein..and said..
Then again…then again, it’s not set in stone. I’ve reached to far to fail. I reap these bitter rewards and only blame myself. So I stood and set my sail..
Past the point of no return. Fortune waits to hear the words. Call me closer to this earth…and bury me beneath its sand. And so I wept..
Then again..then again, I live my life from down below. Where the lingered smells of char and smoke meet the crimson hands of gripping hope. I have failed you, father.. Please take note. But In the dark of my shadow, I heard a morning voice..and when I did, this is what it spoke..
Then again…then again, you might never know, If you only rot. If you don’t see this to the end, then it has been for not. All the things you’ll never see, all the world you’ll never want. It’s brought you to your knees and all the things you’re not. You can choose to leave and live beneath, if thats all you got. But if you fight and just believe..you might have a shot.
I dried my tears and clenched my teeth.. Then I told the world to hear.. When I did, the words rang out and the voice was clear.. Ill live my life till my final breath..and when it comes ill say..
Then again…then again, I know there’s something more. I’m not the one you left behind. I have to leave the life I know.
