Saint

Songs echo in my mind

Each one resonates

In some small way

And I look back

The last two years

Gone by so fast

Barely a trace

But for my memory

Not so long ago

I felt so lost

Things just weren’t

What I thought they’d be

That lost feeling

It stays with you

Confining

Drowning

More than once

I came to tears

Emotions bottled

Clawing for release

Before I knew

What was happening

I’d turned round

A bend in the road

There stood

An opportunity

And a saint

I didn’t even know

What lay before me

Was an unseen path

Something only dreamed of

But it was real

I had a chance

And I took it

Without a second glance

Now I know why

Everything happens for a reason

Mine was destiny

A life

And a guiding hand

Some things are just meant to be

Some people don’t stay

But with a glance

Over my shoulder

He came and he went

Truth and words unspoken

Hope and shattered dreams

Now I know

I can still see

A mirage

A glimpse

Of my saint
