Courage Is...

How was I to know what was going on

In your mind, and why did I hear

Of it from our common friend?

How was I to deal with a feeling so strong?

Courage is not to live without fear;

Courage is to live despite fear! 

Did you think you could ever really be

Happy, if you lived in fear constantly?

Being courageous, being successful

Not exclusive, definitely! 

Courage is not to live without fear;

Courage is to live despite fear! 

Wonder why you couldn't come to me!

Now I wonder why you wouldn't

Talk to me, at the very first signs!

Wonder why you waited!

Courage is not to live without fear;

Courage is to live despite fear! 

Courage is not to live without fear;

Courage is to live despite fear! 

Courage is not to...

The Heavy Silence

In the silence of the room, a weight hangs in the air,

Echoes of the journey, the wisdom that we share.

Years of experience, intertwined with youth,

In the stillness of this moment, we find our hidden truth.

Oh, the heavy silence speaks volumes in its hush,

A bond between us formed, an unspoken trust.

In the depths of understanding, we find our common ground,

In the heavy silence, our connection is profound.

Soft laughter breaks the stillness, a gentle release,

As we navigate this journey, finding inner peace.

The echoes of the past, the dreams of the future,

In the heavy silence, we find our nurture.

Oh, the heavy silence speaks volumes in its hush,

A bond between us formed, an unspoken trust.

In the depths of understanding, we find our common ground,

In the heavy silence, our connection is profound.

In the dance of light and shadow, we find our way,

Guided by the wisdom of each passing day.

In the heavy silence, we learn to embrace,

The beauty of this moment, in its quiet grace.

Oh, the heavy silence speaks volumes in its hush,

A bond between us formed, an unspoken trust.

In the depths of understanding, we find our common ground,

In the heavy silence, our connection is profound.
