I Rose To Sunrise

Corey

yesteryear

eclipsed my horizons

anchored in heavy rain pour

flooded soul deep with an unhealthy

passion for doubt

 

a

happiness

drought cracked my

spirit

 

I was broken…

 

can’t

recall when last love resided inside

where a chill filled spaces warmth left behind

and trust withered and

died

 

It'd

be a lie

if…

 

I

said

I never cried

 

or…

 

fear

never brewed

in me

at

times

 

I

went

through the motions

of…

 

 

scarcely

living throughout days

and nights, months and years

wind blown to and

fro

 

no body knew…

 

life’s

wear and tear

left me toddler-like for a second time

afraid to take a single step

holding

on

(tight)

for

dear

life

balancing

between past and present like pieces of

furniture waiting for

wobbling legs to

steady

 

 

innocence…

 

is

a sense

I often missed

when guarding got too

intense

 

finally

I wrapped my head around

the importance of

a sunrise

 

a

brand new

day

gives birth to fresh

beginnings

 

a

chance to make

a change

 

I

saw

a

sunrise

 

and…

 

I

rose

to

meet

it

      beautifully woven words interlaced with pain and a hope of everlasting happiness with that sunrise! i love the physical layout of the poem ~ how it goes down and down as you read it.....made me feel sort of like i was walking on a long journey with a happy ending.
