In the dense fog of yesterdays
thoughts, we capture all reasons
of living life the way we have
all these years determined
it is worth all the strife
to live it.


Now in today's rumbling struggle
to understand what life has come
to call living, I'm sure we must
have a lesson on its way to open
our hearts wide before
destruction.


Strange we must always learn the
hard way before we can reason with
calmness after a storm of
tragedy and darkness
we learn, but not in
ways we could have
if we found how!


Dawn never appears without
disturbing reality of the true
distraction of unstable life
ways, we now must believe
will not get better till we
have discovered the light that
is waiting to be released.


Flames of surrender flashes
across horizons of tomorrow's
emptiness, without light to
brighten skies darkened
from doubt and fear
making the air thick with
unbearable truth sharply
cutting deeply without
knowledge and wisdom
of goodness.
