Poem by – Terry Lee

Recited by Mohammad Chandra

When everyone else has left
When every expectation is not met
When emptiness sets in
And heartache finds a way to begin
You are there
Again and again

My eternal light
Love of my life
Under every rock
Every leaf I overturn
Every note I sing
Every tear that I cry
Every ripple
That I swim
You carry me
You are my
Eternity
My sacred
Home

With you I am
Never alone
Never alone
Even in the darkest alley ways
We find light
A light so bright
Even in the darkest of
All nights
Midnight black
Pitch packed
The cards are stacked
Against the atmosphere
Manipulated by
The world
If but to
Curl up
And fade
Away

No
Not another day…

The Universe is so big
Filled with
Friends I thought were friends
Yes even when all friendships end
You do not leave my side
You do not run and hide
You still find a way to
Stand behind me
Stand beside me
You are inside me

Watch me go
Watch me rise
Watch me glow

When everyone else has left
When every expectation is not met
When emptiness sets in
And heartache finds a way to begin
You are there
The spirit in my soul
Again and again
My invincible

Under a bridge
In a closet
Filled with broken dreams
Between the cracks
Of misery
You are my
Eternity
My sacred
Home

I am with you Spirit
You are with me
Never alone
Never alone

You are the strings
Of my heart’s
Symphony

You are the drum
That beats from
My chest

You are the chords
That echo from
My throat

You are the best

You are the tap dance
That vibrates from
My feet

Beneath me the earth quakes
Into concrete

You are my armor
You are my umbrella
You are my wings
You are my antlers
You are the star
Of every evening
That guides me and
Believes in me
Invincibly

The Universe is so big
Filled with
Friends I thought were friends
Yes even when all friendships end
You do not leave my side
You do not run and hide
You still find a way to
Stand behind me
Stand beside me
You are inside me

Watch me go
Watch me rise
Watch me glow

You are
My Invincible
