None Are So Bold

None are so bold as to say
That faith will dawn upon a better day
Captive fulfillment escapes one's salvation

None are so bold as to see
That tears of endless grief rain down hard upon thee
Past efforts are welcomed by a torn sunrise

None are so bold as to feel
That true passion is painfully unreal
Hearts of gold glide across skies of dishonor

None are so bold as to hear
Cries of truth approaching ever so near
The wrong dispels the presence of the right

None are so bold as to caress
Those emotions denied of the chance to progress
Reason has lost control of its creative edge

None are so bold as to sense
The propensity of life to discard innocence
A cleansed soul lies dormant this season

None are so bold as to believe
That faith heals the wounds of those who deceive
Time casts a shadow on my intimate reality

None are so bold as to know
That hope remains the refuge for sorrow

For only the truly bold may face lives untold
