Verses on Embracing Life's Lessons Mahé Rabesa

Renaissance

Lying on the ground I watch the stars 

If they fall I'll be there to swallow them

You'll taste their sweetness when you kiss me one last time 

Before the sea rips everything away, the waves wash away what's left of us 

Don't worry the wind of the golden storm will blow away all your failures 

The ones you don't dare say out loud

The ones you hide in the pit of your stomach 

They'll follow you until daybreak

 

And you take them by the hand and expose them to the light

You will understand that they are the reason you are who you are today

We don't attach ourselves to victory, ideas or freedom

We make them bloom like annuals so they come back every year 

We learn to fall low, to crawl, to tie ourselves down to get up again 

For it's with sadness that today nothing is more important than watching the pixels go by

Endlessly, ceaselessly, hungrily you eat to soothe yourself

With information, notifications and beautiful illusions 

Feeding your anxiety and depression

So, very disappointed with what I've taken from us 

No exchange or refund 

Unchanged by change 

Continue to grow without changing our clothes 

So, perhaps reinvented in our size

Well-fitted, made-to-measure, clinging to our skin 

So that we never cease to reborn

 

In more beautiful forms that only night can hide 

And turn your curves into fleeting shadows 

 

You run or you walk straight

No detours, no delays

You've been given no choice

Stop not knowing what you're doing

Like a point of no return 

And good-byes again 

Through faded flowers and salty tears 

In the garden of forgotten souls

Enchanté, I never found myself there

You always end up back to the first square

Mother Earth

Even from the top of the world, you could not see 

And as we keep moving away

But can’t go anywhere because of those chains 

You should have looked at me 

And it is too late now

The rain started to fall

She is running way faster than you

She is carrying all the complains

All the screams that echo in the air

It is not like we can’t see each other

The wind didn’t warn you

He's a liar anyway

Keep the shouting

The rose never stays long on the grass

It is not because I’m tall

It is because no one listens carefully

You never heard

The river breath out its last breath

You never listened to the colours all around

You just listened to the snow hurt and rocks 

                                                                Revolution 

We are old now

We can have this conversation

Or walk away without ever being understood

I do not want to hide anymore

Please, let me raise the flag

And, if I had told you that they were always there? 

If I had said to you that I was never angry?

That the volcano deep inside me was already extinct 

The water would be clearer

Did I ever say that I wanted to be         with you?

                                                      alone
