The Unwelcoming Breeze

If I never saw, never smelt

Wouldn’t taste, couldn’t breathe

Never been touched by the cities unwelcoming breeze

Had the world at my feet

And death is but one rushing heartbeat


And this is the musical

The symphony, epiphanies

The daily revelations that fill you till you overflow

Life just feels so surreal

So close to death

Nothing left

In the silence I press my lungs to sing


Carry me home

Not alone

Never have, never been

Raising me higher

Burning fires

On the bridges that never broke free

Blow the unwelcoming breeze


I can hear them, I can see them

Smiles so angelic that it robs my breath with seconds to spare

See a family, what they mean to me

And this where I take their hands

Leave, leave

Tear, tear

Never fear, I am here

No longer breathing but a spirit will flow

Memories of happiness, the body of agony will be let go.


Carry me home

Not alone

Never have, never been

Raising me higher

Burning fires

On the bridges that never broke free

Blow the unwelcoming breeze


Carry me home

Not alone

Never have, never been

Raising me higher

Burning fires

On the bridges that never broke free

Blow the unwelcoming breeze


Life is doesn’t last very long

But Love stretches on

Carried by the wind in His arms

Take but small steps, have no regrets

Pause and just a look around

Dapple as the rain drops

No attention to mechanical clocks

Love never stops, never stops


Love never stops, never stops

Burning fires…all desires

Love never stops, never stops

On the bridges that never broke free

Love never stops, never stops

Blow the unwelcoming breeze


Love never stops, never stops

Burning fires…all desires

Love never stops, never stops

On the bridges that never broke free

Love never stops, never stops

Blow the unwelcoming breeze


Note: This is written as a song, not a poem. And I was going to write MY meaning of the song, but perhaps it's better for you to interpret it yourselves to see who it is about and what they are trying to say and what is actually happening/ happened. Feel free to criticize too.

I completely disagree with the 'Love never stops.'
It CAN stop.

your thinking of person-to-person love. think outside the square.

Like love in general not between people?
