do you reveal yourself <br />in the art of life <br />do you bring yourself closer to God <br />do cold clutches of mystery and hard nighttime <br />catch you and hold your arms down tight <br />is this purple emotion considered useless <br />when breath is fought for and lost <br />do we ever collectively forget about the sun <br />aren't we all, in our own eyes, beautiful sometimes <br />aren't you going to change <br /> <br />has this prayer been prayed for years, <br />unknowingly, in the back of my head <br />am i suprised that <br />this family heart is beginning to wake up <br />do you see the resemblance, <br />stare at us and clock our teamwork, <br />smile when we hate each other <br />do blessings get bigger before they vanish <br />isn't this a good time to reevaluate your path <br />is this the hammer hitting the bell <br />is God leaving fingerprints all over our world, <br />or are we leaving ours on His <br />are we counted for the love of magical thinking, <br />the year of revolutions <br />and hands helping weaknesses <br />will I melt with you at the bonfire of failed guises <br />will this lead to <br />what we struggle to live between <br />what will you say when my star crashes into yours <br />will I sail seas with you after the fact <br />can't it ever be as easy as that<br /><br />Scott Stevenson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-year-4/
