You can’t deny it when it’s true.

Picture Source

I’m driving, deeper into you
I’m stalling, stopping
I’m falling closer
To a world filled with lights,
You can’t deny it when it’s true

My heels click in the steel of night
Under the moon’s crystal prisms
They shine so bright

I tip my hat to you, to passersby
I nod my head to the street corner
And notice the flutter of a butterfly

I shudder, after the breeze
And draw my coat tighter
Around the new hope
You have recently shown me

In your wind
I watch shadows touch my walls
I feel calm by a simple candle’s flame
And it can finally dance freely, once again

  • TP Sage on Aug 8, 2008

    Beautiful imagery demonstrating an almost reluctant, perhaps just nervous, acceptance of a new hope. I loved these lines….
