There is sweet silence
In my waking hours
Where once
only dark Shadows lurked above;
The dawn holds promise
Into roads
Not less travelled
For many have walked
In my footprints
Through time and fear,
choosing to
Let fear overcome,
Turning back
From mountains
Too high to reach
Rivers that bled
Demons that
Stood as obstacles
To personal development
Dreams that many
Presumed unreachable.
I can open my eyes
Yes sometimes light
Stings me into submission
I fall into empty vessels
willing me
To sail back into a past
of
Self destruction
doubt
failure
Yet my ears
Are deaf to their words
My mind focused
On dreams
They think impossible
My heart fierce
Pounding with beats
That wake my ancestors
Spirit in lands
Forcing them to
Realise I am risen
With their whispers
Of paradise
Soothing,
Strengthening my body
Willing my soul
To reach further
And further into
A potential
I thought lost.
If you reach deep
Within my psyche,
bother to look
For fire in my eyes,
Oceans beneath my sails
Warrior instinct
Within my soul
Majestic love
Inside my heart
You will believe
Too.
