"I Must Be"

The world is hushed

Awaiting us...

And the sun...

Muted gray colours of the early morning glow softly in the pearlescent mist

The cold air condenses it onto dew drops

Frozen within an embrace

The vale of the darkness lifts

Like a magic canvas

Its the curtain upon life

A new day to be lived

Experienced and gained

A mosaic built by us

We are the needle

The moments the thread

Existence is the tapestry of life woven

So clear your vision

No sacrifice is so great that you have to leave yourself behind

Sometimes we can't see to the end of the alphabet...

We get stuck upon “Why?”

Which means we are already at the end of it

Release the list of times and letters counted

You never know what strength you have contained within you

Until you dig deep for it

Its a foot placed forward to survival

To the next breath

Its not up to others

We are the architect

Gratitude is the attitude

Find yourself here

Reflected within

We ask because we care

We do because we love...

Be at peace

Some people may never see where we have been...

Or even understand just how far we have come...

Because of where we stand now

And to simply be me

I must be okay.
