Survive

If life should be easy...I want to know

When darkness calls
it is no ones business
to escape it's meaning
it truly lies
in a mans heart to lie

but if we only knew the truth in salvation
The truth in all eternity
then we could live
and our joys would be forever fruitful
to decline such an offer
is to be taken with no doubt
as a disruption
to the basic meaning to life

and my ears shall ring
of that song called love
sung by the last birds

to this day
we all die
but live again
crossing gardens
planted upon seas

this life was made for me
and I live for you

to die and to trust
to give and to lie

listen to my heart
for it is burning to tell you something

oh slow morning
do not die away
for my arms will lay empty
and the cold will eat me alive

Author's Note

well I would enjoy some interpretations of this lol if you have the time :)

My first impression was about God as with these lines:
this life was made for me
and I live for you

but they say a good writer's work is open to many interpretations for it is all in how the reader perceives it.

Thanks for writing it, and thanks for sharing it!

Wow
This poem really makes you think.
("to this day
we all die
but live again
crossing gardens
planted upon seas")

Alot of mixed emotions here. In this piece . I can't quite place what's going on. I might need to read it again with another mindset. I do find this verse interesting

"but if we only knew the truth in salvation
The truth in all eternity
then we could live
and our joys would be forever fruitful
to decline such an offer
is to be taken with no doubt
as a disruption
to the basic meaning to life"

I love it...
