Goodbye

My wish

I wish to scream floods,

To scream away scorching pain,

To bring back your soul.

You can't blame yourself for not knowing,

If you didn't even begin to learn it. -Unknown

I wonder why I see a fire,

Burning in the water.

Slivers trail,

Behind rivers,

Stunned shivers,

Behind quivers,

Foreign, unknown,

Answers unshown,

The moon’s phase,

No trace,

Give chase,

Sun and moon,

Voices croon,

Too frail,

Set sail,

Always prevail,

Too soon,

Watch the moon,

The sun’s noon.

We drown ourselves in the illusion,

That we drive our lives,

Lost in our own confusion,

There are always secret knives.

We believe we're so wise,

Blinded by unknown lies,

Our destinies held hostage,

By the forbidding skies.

Though who's to say,

That we can have it our way?

The truth held at bay,

From clueless minds,

The changes so mere,

Only seen when we rewind.

Life is not driven by us,

Though we may think we're the biggest bus,

That destiny lies in our hands.

But if you opened up,

Realize,

We are afraid to admit,

That life was never lead,

By us.

The silence spoken,

Means more than words and actions,

Our thoughts say it all.

Words would mean nothing,

If there wasn't a story behind them.

I lived a life,

Of solitude,

No dove,

No traps of love,

The sunrise,

A sign of no demise.

I never tracked time,

I was always sublime,

Yet then came fortitude,

Destroying my solitude.

I

Had

No

Choice.

I tried to flee,

My legs tied to the knees,

I couldn’t run fast enough.

So I turned,

No more running,

No more sputtering,

Fortitude replacing solitude,

Barren pain,

Stabbed

Right

Through.

Now my days,

No longer quiet,

A presence,

Waiting,

Peace is gone,

War awaits,

There shall be no silence,

For several years,

Till change is here.

The constant howl of wailing winds,

The clouds above the sandy shores,

Vivid skies and setting suns,

The melody of birds high and sung.

Fire that caresses the flaring blue,

Seemingly scorching the beige hue,

Joy and serenity remain strong and true,

The life lived now with no such rue.

Storms that careen over the tidal waves,

Surging like the knight who was once so brave,

Wings of loft, upon my soul,

To the deepest seas, and the golden shoals.

Life is nothing, but a dream within reality. -TheHen
