The finishing line

A battle, not with arms, but with the spirit...

Will you walk with me? Not on the light side... but on the dark side,

Only there will we find obstacles that will help us find each other,

The light makes things so easy and we take for granted what we have before us,

Something called a life, a life with a finishing line..

Will you hold my hand? Not to go for a stroll, but to go through a struggle,

Will you hold my hand tight and never let go when we travel on a dusty, rough road?

When we encounter temperatures of extreme heat? Or wen we feel that we are going to freeze to death?

Will you accept to cross the finishing line with me?

Will you allow me to kiss your soul? Not in the liquid rain, but in the acid rain?

I am calm but willing to take risks... Will you accept to attempt to find the meaning of this inexplicable 'thing' that there is between us?

Or will you let go and let me fall away from you?

Or will you cross the finishing line with me?

If i toss and turn around like Crazy, will you hold my heart in your hands and tell it everything will be alright?

Will  you caress it with your spirit and soothe it with your touch so that it can find its interior peace again?

Will you help it find its rhythm again, so that the dark, the struggle, the dust, the heat, the cold will be nothing but a mere fact for it?

Will you cross the finishing line with me?

Dark are the secrets of my soul, i am willing to share them with you, will you listen to them?

My soul is deeply cut and bruised, will you help me heal it?

My spirit is fighting with spirits, i am no match for them without the help from your soul, your inner peace, your inner touch, your inner spirit...

Will you help me cross the finishing line?

Will you cross the finishing line of life with me?
