Staring at the sea of unknown
I wade into the waves
Uncharted waters
Offering silent invitation
A horizon so wide
The Sun shines endlessly
Giving me a view
No one gone before ever knew.
This is the untold story of yore
Unwritten verses
The dead poets long gone
Never wrote down
Old timers whose face
Lie silently underneath
Cold termination
Forever hidden to dreams.
Blades I once saw solution
Hurt pain and suffering
With permanent answers
Lock themselves away
Hope of invisible help
Among angels of daring
Meet me now in the open
Unguarded realms.
A newfound purpose awaits
Inside the echoes
Filtering inside me as
A personal calling
Unconditional love finds me
An offer beyond refusal
Shatters my shackles
Breaking the self destruct cycle.
Round and round no longer goes
Forward, ever slowly
I walk with my own feet
Inside new and noble shoes
Feeding on a dream
Held up in comforting arms
Yesterday done, I live each day
Confident tomorrow only knows.
