Deep Inside

Looking outside
Grabbing, needing
My heart is bleeding
Dripping from sadness
Embraced by loneliness
Tasting my own mortality
Thankful for my vitality
Sages and druids
Their movement so fluid
Finding the steps
Looking for rest
Piercing through
That much is true
Nothing lasts
Everything must pass
Then I laugh
Now I cry
While holding on to what’s deep inside
