You'Re My Edelweiss
I gotta let sorrow roll down my weary shoulders
Breaking down a billion boulders, revealing life’s folders
I hear the wolves howl at the after-midnight moon
I can hear them now – the predators scowl so soon
I’m walking on thin ice…
My mind is a cage,
Filled with crazy mice,
But, now I’m on another page
I don’t feel that inner rage
It never hurts to let out a simple smile…
Frowning won’t do you any good
You’ve never really lost your fancy style…
Though, in the darkness, you’re misunderstood
I’m paying hardship’s price
Its importance is less than a grain of rice
My love for you is priceless like the ocean’s hopeful horizon
You’re a vessel of vivacious grace and glory that I look upon
Don’t you understand where I stand with raised hands?
Don’t you know where your plane of thought lands?
I’ve been somewhat busy these days, doing side errands
Within seconds, I will ascend like the sunrise and shine like the beach sands
Make sure to stand tall in zealous appeal and get on the ball
Be nice to yourself and others
Keep in mind to confidently stride through hardship’s hall
You are like the peacock’s feathers
Let me borrow some hope and cheer in mind, hoping none will be left behind
Come forth and surprise me with your clever creativity and let it vibrantly unwind
You’re the concealed treasure in the cave of I’m-Brave, a truly fantastic find
Be my wonderful weather that satisfies my solace bliss if you can be so kind
It’s my mission to keep you from all wickedness and harm
You’re a flourishing flower in my eyes in this fast-paced life
You’re like my blessed blankets that are keeping me warm
You’re a precious wilderness, immersed with pure wildlife
Don’t be discouraged by dried-up doubts
I understand that life is like a million routes
Be joyous and let out your victory shouts
I’d give you a rose and chocolates instead of raw Brussel sprouts
Don’t let the sheer anxiety and stresses of the world’s obstacles
Let’s relieve the distress inside and don’t lose hope anymore
Let go of all bitter negativity and appreciate optimistic miracles
In the long run, believe in me with benevolence to the core
I’m extremely sorry for ignoring you so
I will numb the pain of your sorrowful rain that drives you inaptly insane
I’m ready to pull out the weeds of woe
I will replenish you with sunshine and water – all I do for you is not in vain
Don’t let fright and fear awake on your childlike, radiant dreams
I’m aware of the world and what’s left of it is breaking by the seams
Wash away the waves of tumult and what not, for you are my devotion
Hold on to me in a heartening manner and overlook nostalgic notion
Seek counsel, be rid of vice,
Be willing to change
And take only good advice…
Don’t talk so strange
It never hurts to start all over on a clean slate
Harboring hate won’t gain us love forevermore
You’re a beacon of blessings in a happy state
Stay the way you are for life… don’t invite iniquity and corrupted company anymore
I’m striving to be a better person and I expect that from you too
I’m willing to be a companion by your side when you are blue
I desperately want you to shine anew and focus on being patiently wise
Naturally, you have served as a tenderhearted, elegant Edelweiss
