a little bit of sunshine

a little bit of sunshine is all we need
to let us look up again
a little bit of wind is all we need
to wipe the dust off our spirits again
a little bit of rain is all we need
to cleanse us of past burden
a touch of a hand is all we need
to give us strength again

from the many paths we came through, and forgot
to the myriad roads which await us, unknown
through the bruises we suffered, and the wounds that stayed
i must remind myself of the progress we made

many in tow, and many waiting ahead
these struggles, my friends always up for a game
my mind interlocked within itself, trapped in a maze
it's a failing game i sense, like it's really not there

should we be the great mountain, or the elegant stream
should we resist, or should we flow
a search for a calm,
when numbing calmness is all around
a thirst for rage and storm,
when every misstep raises tremors within

a search for beauty, happiness and peace
can get lost when you are not looking
but in life that's all we can do
either look or run but not both
