Jay's Silly Words

They say a leopard can’t change his spots

A fish its’ fins, or a Zebra her stripes

But this theory deserves second thoughts

As any do that cause sorts of hypes

Green is green, likewise white is white

And then, of course, there’s good old red

Each with their own definition and light

Each definition different to a different head

But I’ve seen colors change, spots disappear

The process slow, never done all alone

Mud without water has no chance to clear

Dark remains if no light is ever shown

I’ve seen red change, from nil to a name

Seen spots drop in the mirror at home

Again seen a face never look the same

Seen my grays transform into chrome

All because of one face, a soul and heart

One red took the time to be my light

Saw me cry and kept smiling from the start

Never did I realize this heart so polite

Watched me regrow, become a new man

Saved my heart with no return in mind

Helped me stand when I would have ran

Never did I realize this angel so kind

My heart’s still falling

But my head has landed, and it’s feeling alright

Motivation still stalling

But life to me handed, is being far too kind

I miss the smiling nights

But the days smile too, they smile at me

Even with love out of sight

Love is a great pool, and I swim in the sea

At times my eyes will wet

Their lids will sink, and drown all alone

But once the tears have set

I open for but a wink, marvel at what is shown

Time will bring many scars

I will hurt again, there is not a doubt

But heal me can the stars

They are my friends, my name they shout

Friends, nature and joy

These are those stars, the ones up above

Although sadness can destroy

Love will clean the scars, cover them with Love
