Chirp Like the Crickets

Looking down upon the empty canyon.
It beckons me to come down.
It whispers words of want,
Yet expresses my deepest sorrow.
The stars are above me,
The crickets are chirping.
The songs of a thousand years fill my ears.
Ever green, forever.
Will my soul last forever?
I see sorrow in your eyes, as well.
Will you run away with me?
Will you join me, wherever we end up?
We can follow the fireflies and rest in the clouds.
We can dance in the meadows and bathe in the rainbows.
We can create reasons to smile,
And hold one another when we are sad.
Our tears will heal each other's wounds.
We can become free.
I will sing and whistle with the wind.
Will you sing along?
I will flow with the current.
Will you flow along?
A difficult choice.
A thought provoking piece.
We can chirp like the crickets.
Or we could simply sleep.
