Let’s Go Back There. {poetry}
Let’s go back to that place
Where I’m not dragging any chains
No more failures, no more mistakes
There are no judgmental eyes
Just the air asking us to fly
Where everything matters,
Where I’m who I want to be
Life calls us to be our best selves,
To be happy with we have done
Yes, let’s go back there
Where we can have our hearts opened
We are not afraid anymore to fall
Life is just one moment in time
Where faith is no disillusion
We’ve learned not everything goes our way
No, we cannot control all around us
But where we are following our hearts.
Let’s go back to that place
Where I get connected with myself
Where the gentle breeze
Surrounds us, under our old tree
Where nothing else matters
Just a moment for us
Where silence is our witness
Something new is born
Yes, let’s go back there
Where you and I get lost again
In our endless dreams
Where the moonlight
Illuminates the ideas
Where everything seems reachable
Where all seems more real
Everything is possible
Let’s go back to that place
Where the flames of my soul begin
Anxious for some adventures
Where there’s no limit
There’s no breaking point.
Where there are no distractions
Just the silence and my reckless heart
Where the sky and the earth are one
Green pastures under the sunshine
Yes, let’s go back there
Where there are no rules
Just passion and desire
Where the heart commands us
To do what we feel
Where our art is our compass
Leading us to this place
Let’s go back to that place
Where all the worries disappear
Traveling to the unknown, with no concerns
Where nothing else exists
Just freedom and our beating hearts,
Where happiness seems more real
Because all is left behind in the past
Random thoughts screaming to get out
Yes, let’s go back there
Where we feel like ourselves
Where there are no secrets
Where there are no limitations
No more knots in our throats
Where art sets us free
Where the ideas just flow
Taking me to a place called home
Let’s go back to that place
Where a pencil and air are all I need
Where fantasies come to live
Where I don’t feel lost
Because I’m where I belong
This place has become my home
Where I find myself
I’ve been lost for so long
Yes, let’s go back there
Where I’m reborn from the ashes
Recycling every feeling and emotion
Because everything is meaningful
Where there’s no wasting time
Every single thing counts
Where I get released from mistakes
Because the past has been left behind
Let’s go back to that place
Where we can get lost in the moment
The peaceful place of my solitary nights
Where deafening silence
Bring calms to my uneasy thoughts
Where the soul is free
Because the heart has no pain
We are not here in vain
Yes, let’s go back there
To our favorite escape
Where the stars collide
Where hope arises again
In a sea of possibilities
Where you — my restless mind — and I are one.
