"Carried Heart"

Found here is our perspective...

The value put upon time...

With light breaking upon the dawn....

We become the breath within our lungs

We are this effort in trying

Anchored within our soul humanity resides

All colours moving and still fill this vision of the world around us

Days passed are covered with footsteps forward

The journey endured, taken, and achieved

Marked by every place where we have stumbled and fallen

But contained within each is how we have learned to get back up

And regained control of the direction we seek

We have learned and continue to do so

Gaining lessons and knowledge given to us and passed on by us

We now know how to rise above...

And in some cases, we are still rising

The past is history...

Each chapter is another added

Moments of living with emotion

Of happiness and grief echoed with the balance of peace

We are the fire lit within

We are the ability in understanding, a conscious searching the truth

To be wiser, to be better, not bitter...

Release the shrapnel of anger buried beneath the skin

There is no gain in keeping score

These are the arms reaching out hands that embrace change

Life knows without us knowing

Choices have made decisions

Reality reminds us every day

That we are only borrowed moments...

Existence upon a time line with no set ending

Yesterday brings us to every tomorrow and beyond

We all carry our heart with us

With the light and through the darkness

Because we have been the darkness...

And it may come, and it may go...

But the new horizon approaching always reminds us

Shadows only prove that there is sunshine.
