Next Life

© JP Asher 2025 _____________ Holding fast in a howling storm Gripping hard as emotions soar Close my eyes, rain on my face Another world, another place Warm farewells never felt so cold Still young but I feel so old On the run until freedom comes Full of fire, yet feel so numb No horizon, ripped eclipse No more doubt, the moment hits Soak through, melt like the night See you in the next life Trying times mean writing rhymes Burn it away with some scribbled lines Cast it out, make me pure and whole See my spirit, share my soul Fading, fading, failing No horizon, ripped eclipse No more doubt, the moment hits Soak through, melt like the night See you in the next life Falling, failing No horizon, ripped eclipse No more doubt, the moment hits Soak through, melt like the night See you in the next life
