My friend...

Chilly wind.
Curtains of rain.
A figure walks along. Lost in reverie.

....

I ask you friend.
Why are you alone, even as so many sorround you.

Your heart glows.
Light spreads from it.
Bringing peace to those around.
Yet why?
I ask, are your eyes so sad.

I see the desire you have.
To find that unknown joy. The evasive peace.
Yet you close yourself to it. 

I ask you friend.
Why are your eyes closed,open them and look around

The answers you seek.
The freedom you want.
to express yourself.
to unravel your wishes, thoughts, choices
are all right there, my friend.
Within you.

So I ask you friend.
To bring out that courage.
So you can feel the happiness.
Just like the way you bring it to others.

I ask you my friend,
to look beyond the rain and the darkness.
To see the light and seek your true self.
Let it envelop you and guide you.

Let not others define you. Dictate you.

My friend.
Listen to yourself. Seek your true self.
And bring that beautiful smile you have to your eyes.
