Dear Chance - the Letter

Morakane... 

Dear Chance 

Can you stretch your hand 
Put it on my infant heart 
Put it on my amateur heart beat 
Can you sense and feel the inexperience of my breath 
Can you sense and feel my ears are deaf 
Chance can you wait and let me strengthen my bones 
Chance can you wait and let me wipe my eyes 
Chance can you wait and let me close all the holes of yesterday 
Disappointments 
Chance can you wait and look 
My broken dreams of beauty are on the floor 
Chance can you wait and give me a chance to grow 

I am looking forward to meet you again 

From the one who can't take chances

Dear Chance 

Can you wait and listen to my mouthspeak 

So many thoughts i have for you 
So many wishes i have made for you 
So many smiles i have seen you cheris,but mine 
So many hearts you have healed,but mine; 
My infant heart 
So small and still beating 
You curiously dance slowly to its limping lame beat 
Beat by beat 
My caring seem so desolate in your sight 
You give me no chance to defend my fragility 
You cloud me with thoughts of defeat 
You squeeze out in me,pain and tears of deceit 

Chance can you feel my strength? 
Or sense the presence of my weakness 
To lift my hand,carefully wiping your tears of sadness
Chance can we forget the breaths of yesterdays 
That sowed holes to what seem to be days before today 
Forgetting the hurt of yesterweeks of time 
Burying all in dunes of disappointments 
Wipe your tears away,your beauty still bears itself 
I waited my chance 
Now its your time to grow 

Till we meet the day after ''again'' 


From the one who took chances
