The Piper Is Calling

15 June 2015 6:16 AM

Why fear?

 Said the piper

Why bother?

 The piper said

 Come with me

 and be free

 Listen to my music

let  it take you home

I doubted 

I feared

Where would I end up

if I am not where I've been?

What would I feel

if I don't feel as always?

What would I do?

if I don't do what I've always done?

Who would I be

if I am not who I thought?

What is it that I've been looking for?

The piper was waiting and smiling

I was worried and in pain

Come on 

He said

Come on

Said he

What are you waiting for?

And he played again

the music of love

I looked within 

I looked around

I looked at him

The piper was happy

But was happiness really

 what I was looking for?

No

Happiness can be deceiving

I said to myself

I looked at him

He continued to smile

The piper is waiting

The piper is waiting

I thought

And I said:

What the heck

My life can be much better

If I was just a little

like this free spirit

 I said to him:

I am here piper

I am here

Take me with you

Lead me home

And he said:

I already did

I already did

Go back to your life

Free and with a smile

And I understood

In letting go

I found

In letting go I saw

Happiness can be a temptation

But love is forever

I am home

I am home
