For Today

A confusion in the clouds
                        wanders my mind
                        Cautious, meticulous steps lead me away
                        from the thin line that balances
                        my steps toward your closing door
                        Unsure and afraid to go down the path
                        I've been here too many times before
                        but remembering the promise...
                        I head back once more
                        to sit and wait for the clouds to pass
                        But silently I wonder
                        with sadness and a slight distrust
                        How many times will I have to ask you -
                        while steeling my will and turning to pray
                        instead of watching you slowly fall away from us
                        How many times will I have to struggle with
                        futile strings of hope on shredding rope
                        before they finally burst
                        before I can't run fast enough to find you...
                        before it's too lost, too late
                        Will you please let me carry it all
                        even if it's only for today
