Rays of light escaping through broken branches.

Orange rays of light escaping through the broken branches

as the howling wind brings rain clouds marching.

The leaves sparkle in glistening delight

and the sun whispers a stubborn goodnight.

Droplets of rain cloud my view,

a thousand sunsets and this ones new.

A sky alive with soured milk,

clouds so soft they look like silk.

Pushing through and pushing past,

the halo of light cannot last.

So for now I will sit and see,

and for a moment,

know,

that I am free.

Dreams of a future told.

I’ve seen you a dream, I know.

A promise of happy show.

There in a crowded room,

smiling beneath an eternal moon.

I’ve seen you in the lake of life,

I know one day you’ll be my right.

I’ve seen you in the smiling eyes,

you are the answer to all my whys.

I’ve heard your whispers on the summer breeze,

your name travels through the endless trees.

I’ve called your name in my slumber,

you are my final wonder.

Now I know, I see it all.

The reasons why I had to fall.

Each day I grow, each day I am,

to become the one I know I can.

A tangled web of thorny way

a path, not a place to stay.

To love, to know, to accept,

the fallen tears that I have wept.

So I shall love with all my heart,

I accept my life is on this path.

Till I see you in a crowded room,

beneath a crying perfect moon.

Wings out stretched you’ll hold me tight,

and I will know i’ve find my light.
