The Far Edge of Reason

Hold your head up high
No matter what you do
Don’t rely on the sky to clear
To shine a light on you

Time will continue to turn
Whether you’re wrong or right
Join the line and try to learn
A lesson within this life

Take this face; I am a familiar of me
Without which I could not hide
Hide myself, my heart, my soul
Behind the mask of life

Every time I feel like seeking escape
I look to hide within your eyes
For there is an endless sky of love
You afford me without a price

Until the end of time, I’ll feel your gaze
As the sunshine on my face
The warmth of your love living
Within my heart ablaze

If ever there was reason to falter
Within this time of men
It shall be as a mans love is water
That needs to be maintained

Here comes the sad times
Burst wide open by the tide
Unable to meet the expectations
Of my old tired eyes

Listen for the sounds of dreams
Escaping to the stars
For they may never be achieved
Only desired from afar

The hours as they are passing
Consult with the winds of change
Amazing in a kind of fashion
Observing a coming of age

Eyes shine with waves of passion
The train continues to roll on by
Perpetually dwelling on crashing
Just waiting for the time to arrive

I see my reflection among the people
But I feel I am standing alone
I spend the longest time waiting
To reap the seeds of love since sown

Yet what is love but a feeling
That two people are fortunate to share
Given to a fate from the beginning
That we often are not aware

Run to the far edge of reason
Look to the future as yesterday expires
Forever seeking the season
That contains the source of the smile

Draw within reach of the source
The ground heaves with an air of calm
Understand that we all are falling
Throughout the realm of the storm

Don’t say that dreams are better
For then our life will be devoid
Of real emotion and fervour
Failing to believe in modern love

So I try to walk in shoes for dancing
Though never to achieve the dance
Intent on remaining hopeful in
The face of restricted chance

Future brightens if gifted with love
With nature shall we dance?
Protect each other from heartache
Share with each other romance
