Capture and Embrace

The fragility of a days time, is never enough to capture

The essence of our most sought after lives

Now, we sleep. Why are we so tired?

Exhaustion just blurs everything

Now we must wake and seize

Invigorate once again and embrace everything

Everything. Everything

And there are times when my mind won't receive anything

I find these are my darkest days

In heart and mind I find it hard to remain myself

When everything is collapsing around me

Can we remain awake long enough to feel again?

Can we retain enough thought to feel brand new again?

Can we remain? Awake enough to truly feel again?

Can we embrace? Will I ever know how many steps to climb?

And what it will take for me to wake and embrace this path

And isn't it enough that every breath I give

Falls short of what this life demands

So here I stand, to capture and embrace

Everything that will come my way
