How can you believe in love
If you won't believe in miracles?
How can you believe it possible
That two people in the world could fit
Together into a puzzle as one
When these two people
Could be anywhere in the world
And may not ever even so much as brush
The light touch of a finger together?
How can you not believe in miracles
If love can span a universe
And stretch until it surpasses
The essence of time itself?

How can you not believe in miracles
When time will stand still
And the world holds its breath
And everyone grows weak
As we all pause, and look up,
And wait for the news
That everything will be okay,
And then at a single word
The world breathes again
And the collective sighs
And the tears of relief
Are enough to subsitute
For the wind and rain
Which slip quietly away
To let the people love in peace?

How can you not believe in love
When a heart is surrounded by stone walls
Which can disolve at a single touch?
How can you not see the wonder
So unconcealed in a simple smile
And the moment of peace when two hands cling
To what they know will keep them safe
And find comfort in one another?
How can you think, ever,
That any part of it could be wrong or evil
When it is enough to bring a smile
To a stoned, frozen face?
When it is enough to bring life
To he who is dead?

How can you believe in miracles
If you will not believe in love?
How can anythimg impossible happen
When there is no passion behind it
To make it achievable?
How can you truly believe
That mere miracles make a human breathe
And mere miracles form the words
Which escape from the lips of a prisoner
To set him free?
Even the power of miracles
Is not strong enough alone to change the world.
Even the most miraculous occurance
Alone is not enough to bring peace.

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in miracles?
Can the world still be saved,
Or are you waiting for the ashes
To fall from a cold, cloudy sky
And prepared to smother yourself
As they smoulder in your throat
And choke the air which you breathe?
Do you remember the meaning of hope,
Or have you crossed it out in the dictionary
For fear of ever seeing it again:
For fear of remembering what no fear was like,
For to have no fear means to leap
Where you might get hurt?
Look before you leap, they say.
I say leap before you look.
Miracles never came
From what one was too afraid to do.
<3~ A poem.

Muse, I has it.

It's fun.
