Thank You for Calling Me Today

Thank you for calling me today,

My evening hasn't been going too well

But the birds outside have kept me company.

The world seems to be too steadfast to tell

But you may know what I'm longing to see.

Everything has felt a little still,

My umbrella has been just the way it was

Just the way I left it when you went away.

The rain has sogged up all the plant pots

But I'm still sure that it isn't here to stay.

I'm looking forward to seeing you,

All the windows have a spotless shine

That gives me just the perfect view.

I have been keeping a track of time

And I know you have been tracking yours too.

Thank you for calling me today,

When my bedside clock had been buzzing

But I did not have the strength to wake up.

And no, I haven't been complaining

My patience didn't start to drop.

But since the rain water has started to drain,

I'm looking forward to seeing you soon

And keeping all my problems at bay.

I was waiting, and a conversation was due

So thank you for calling me today.

No Fear, No Longer

In crucial steps that breaks the dawn,

Of wondrous spells that take me on,

This dark magic will repent itself,

Not me, not from these cocoons,

And catacombs that need help.

There is a state I know of urgency,

What I see does not show mercy,

But for a new dawn I must break free,

Conquer what may seem unconquerable,

And stand high for the world to see.

Fear, is what breaks the toughest of men,

Pollutes the mind and corrupts them,

Those places may seem out of hand,

That dig deeper with a play of mind although,

Have nothing to lather you with harm.

The rain will be sheltered to only those,

That train their minds and balance their woes,

And walk up to fear itself in its worst form,

Without a slight band of hesitation,

And walk slowly right through the storm.

The pain shall rise upon me and break,

There is no power with me at stake,

And fear will perish with the break of dawn,

With me, standing above the ashes,

And I will know that I have won.
