I once believed I was devoid of light,
That nothing from within me radiated.
My sun had set casting eternal night.
I kept my dark heart alone and gated.
In a chance meeting my soul would ignite,
It was for him that my daybreak waited.
He is the prism through which my rays pass.
I’ve found a full spectrum of love at last.
How
I wish
My worries
Could be dismissed,
Be carried away
Somewhere distant to stay.
Won’t someone please just take them?
Put an end to all this mayhem?
Before chaos engulfs my psyche,
Won’t you please take this encumbrance from me?

So earlier, when I posted a rant, I mentioned that my extreme frustration with a situation outside of my control was hindering my ability to focus on anything else. I need to move past that. Since it’s not feasible to package my troubles and ship them to a faraway land (which is the only solution I can think of), I’m just going to have to put my head down power through… Boo, anyone know where I can find a shortcut?
A flower blooms
While a child cries.
A life is born
As an old man dies.
Life’s not given.
It is a loan.
It’s time we use,
But never own.
A privilege bestowed.
Something to cherish.
Spend it wisely,
For soon we all perish.
Then our children are left
With the life we once mused.
To make the most of existence
And time we once used.
Paint rains from above
On brushes of sunlight
Pouring upon sepia forests
Awakening shades of life

Imprisoned by these chains for so long,
Wonderment kept beyond my reach,
On the outside looking in…
Resisting my shackles
Until they give way,
Granting pardon.
Unfettered,
I am
free.
