I'll Show You The Way

I'll Show You The Way

A Poem by Brian M. Peeples

I surround myself with much;

books, games, puzzles, and such,

as I must keep my mind alive

while trying to find her in the night sky.

A star, perhaps, or even a cloud;

or maybe a flying car,

that crash landed somewhere,

anywhere on the ground.

I then surround myself with dirt,

though my broken heart may hurt.

I tried and tried, and cried for too long,

even though my broken words

will soon enough find themselves gone.

I’ll only be a distant memory,

with a crisp edge on insanity;

burnt, broken, a dire monstrosity.

I’ve come far, but not far enough

to know that life will always be tough,

too tough for me to endure anymore.�"

And as robins soar way up high,

I can only see clouds up in the sky.

And I don’t know the difference

between the truth, and the lies,

but maybe some day, perhaps,

I might find myself in the sky,

with all the other stars,

out there in outside space,

to find you, wherever you are.

And I hope, and I pray…

for you to come back to me

I’ll even show you the way.
