Prayers To Choose From

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

Forgot what to say
Though I pray and I pray
How real it all feels
When there's no place to hide
How hard it all seems
When the fields are so wide

The more I try
The more I seem to lose
If just a way would unfold
A way I could choose

Getting closer, am I?
Closer to my aim
But there won't be enough time

A poet or a madman
What if I knew?
What should I say?

I'd like you to see
What lies behind the silence
Lost for words 
Though I know they are somewhere
Buried within 
But I can't get hold of the map

The signs, they are near
Can't understand what I fear
The closer I get
The more the pain does increase
The lesser I am
My chances decrease

Stars shine bright
But what does it mean
Strange encounters
I don't want to see

Everything built 
 may be taken by fire
I would not mind 
 if it burned my desire
 
Exposed to the light
The darkness crawls near
But only in the dark
A shadow has to fear
