Walking in the park and feeling safe,
Under the trees' majestic shades,
I let my mind wonder, free to ponder,
The meaning of this time we spend together
The birds bathe in the sun, on the river…
Soon they will all leave and flow down south,
When the cold will chase away their will to stay.
I wonder where I would go to find solace,
.
If I lost the warmth of your voice
And the strength of your embrace,
If I was all alone to face the storms again,
Where would be my south… if you stopped being the north of my days
.
And why do people hurt each other,
When all they really want is to love and be loved?
Why do we break what we care about so much?
And where do the turtles go in the winter…
I'm scared of being too much for us
And even more of not being enough.
What use could you make of my words?
I have only questions and doubts…
.
Is it enough that I love you,
Enough to want to be with you,
To wish you comfort, hope and joy
And pledge to let you shine, even when it rains on my heart.
.
I see the leaves covering the trees with colors,
I see Nature's way of giving all to all!
I fear I will never be able to trust in us…
I know how unfair it is, and it hurts.
.
Why do we doubt who we love most?
Why do we hide what makes us glitter?
Why is the truth so hard to share?
And where do turtles go in the winter…
.
So many questions twirl around me,
As the clouds dance in the heavens.
So many suspicions torturing me…
As tears come to blur my reflection.
.
So many animals breathe around me,
Trying to teach me how to survive!
And the whispers of fear turn into a song suddenly,
Reminding me how resilient we truly are.
Why do I fear who I love most?
I will let you guide me home.
You will be the answer to my call,
You are my shelter in the unknown.
.
I will let you guide the way for now andWhen you need me to, I'll take the lead;If turtles can find asylum in the winter,We'll find our own way to safety, surely..I'll go where your heart and mine can beatThe rhythm to fit our unique melody.Wherever turtles go in the winter, honey,If they can find their way? so can we.
