"Upon The Horizon"

I fear greatly for the person now lost

Deep within the changes of life

Your line of sight has swayed

The image of you has faded

The reflection within the mirror is a ghost of who you use to be

The anchor in your safe harbor has been up rooted

The beacon of light from your heart is no longer one of hope

Its now a search light calling out...

Casting is plea across the rising tide

The lines of worry tell volumes and stories across your face

There is a truth floating upon the surface of that you cannot hide

Many conflicting moments pull upon emotions

Waves of tears carry you

Is it sadness that you feel to what has been lost or departed?

Or is it that sweet relief that washes over you when you know everything will be okay?

Either way, don't fight it...

Let it embraces you ...

Making those sharp points of hurt smooth

Clean out the old thoughts

Refresh your heart, mind, body, and soul with new

You deserve the right to know your own happiness

Your heart is the ship sailing upon the ocean of life

Not all chances are lost

Keep a weather eye upon the horizon

The dawn of a new day awaits

With the breaking of light through the darkness.
