The battle within

The bare sky, stretched out across infinity.
damp memories, exceeding the horizon.
thoughts frayed, drifting aimlessly.
building sharp, but slow memories!

Lying in a bed of broken dreams gifted by destiny,
I gaze upward at the stars,
Pondering over things my mind can’t forget,
and feel within, the pained heartbeat of the earth.

The moon illuminated the universe with peaceful light,
making one speechless with its beauty and serenity.
a delightful wind blew over the horizon,
grass bends and crests, like waves upon the sea.

The world seemed standstill,
but a battle rages deep within my soul
with prayer as my only weapon,
all I could do to hold on was have faith.

With the gift of time,
god blessed me to forgive and forget
the memories of past,
filling my pained heart with eternal peace,
preparing me for the golden present.

A change within, a change without !!!!

Finally, all is peace again
but, nothing is the same.
all that was once sought for and grasped at are gone.
the past is blown away, and I am free.
Waiting for the bright dawn!
