An Ode To My Soul

Oh, my soul, why are you so forlorn?
Is not the sky blue still?
And the flowers pretty!
The wind blows and ruffles my hair
And the cool breeze caresses my face
Yet, the feeling persists...

I aspire
To smile and be well
And then I sigh...

Is there a tomorrow?
Is the Faith alive?
Or is it the emptiness
Of someone left behind!
Does my cry reach Heaven?
Or am I just deluded

I aspire
To laugh and live
And then I sigh...

Melancholy, I want to let you go
Tears, don't come too close
Dread, be away and stay there
Smile, please come back to me
Hope, spare me a moment
Love, come and kiss me

I aspire
To love and to cherish
And then I sigh...
