Analysis of Endure
You are the lifeline and the rope
Pulling me through the darkness
Love so immeasurable
You reach to me
Getting me across
All the suffering
Pain and sadness
Disappears
In your hands
Eyes and embraces
Is it any wonder
My mind and soul
In your care
Learns to endure?
You are body of pure compassion
Understanding so infinite
I am breathing again
You are the lungs
I am able to exhale
Hands and feet
Move to your music
Eyes rise up
You face me
Without judgment
The Sun on my horizon
You are the light
By which I can see
How beautiful is the world.
Beneath my feet the grass grows
So evergreen and so cool
Soft is the sensation
You bring like Spring
The dull aches and pains
Subside and dissipate
Kindness restores
My appetite to live
To endure and keep going
Through Hell and more
Until no trace of terrible
Remains and all because
You are the air I breathe.
