Lantern Lane
It’s okay
in our own ways
we all break
apart sometimes
when we’re apart
sometimes
I break
I saw the light one evening
walking home
what was I doing
lost, there
when I should have been
with you
just you
It’s okay
in our own ways
we all break
apart sometimes
Walking home
I face myself fully
face all I’ve done
And tell myself
it’s okay
it’s alright
we all break
break apart
sometimes…

I really like this work, the message and its presentation, and its insightful title which alone speaks volumes. 'Lanterns' are powerful symbols/metaphors, and 'Lantern Lane' fits poetically perfectly.
