A SENSE OF BEING


In the dark shadows of light
She sits quietly waiting
Somber thoughts of a past long forgotten by others
They still linger deep within her heart

The dawn begins, with colors bright and pale
Her mind wanders back and her sorrow grows
The sky reaches inside and pulls all hope to the surface
Will tomorrow come, a new day full of marvels

Eyes brown like the earth beneath her feet
Look for reasons that do not exist
Move on, move on
She stands and begins to walk down the hillside

I, she proclaims
Shall let it go and find a new path to walk
One of my making, a destination into the unknown
Will there be truth there, it doesn't really matter
