Tranquility
Singing softly for me to hear
Blowing through the gentle breeze
Causing me to vanquish all thought and feeling
To forget
Then the memories arrive
Flowing in a great wave
Into me
Returning to their master
Past and present
Good and bad and worse
But none worth forgetting
None worth not fighting to remember
None worth giving up on
Abandoning in darkness
But at the same time
Not worth remembering
But I do not want to forget
I do not want to stop fighting
I do not want to run away and pretend
That I was not there
That nothing happened
That all was well
That no life was taken
From me
I will fight and
Stand up
I will face the truth
Remember all that I can
And not push those memories away
Out of my mind
Out of existence
No matter the temptation
The pain
I will live
And face what comes
When it does
When it does not
I will keep it with me when
It leaves
I will learn
Or maybe not
But never will I run
Never will I hide
Never will I dwell
I will reflect
I will collect them
And care for them
Protect them
As these memories
Return
To their
Master.
