A girl sat on damp grass all alone at night
The Moon was glowing with all its might
Cool, scented zephyr blew petals and leaves
The only music was that of the swooshing trees
And an occasional howl from far, far away
Nothing was even the slightest bit awry
Except for that girl, who was lonely and sad
The dew had wet the attire in which she was clad
Her big, glassy eyes stared glumly at the moon
The long winter night seemed far from ending soon
Feelings of envy were sparking inside her
She thought how fortunate the moon and stars were
They knew exactly what they were supposed to do
They didn't have to figure out what was true
In this messed up world filled with illusions
Around every corner there are deceptions
Tears trickled down her cheeks as her patience gave way
She wanted to seek her Lord but knew she was far away
Her existence was shackled in frailty and hopelessness
She felt as if nothing could save her from this distress
How was she supposed to keep track of her whole life?
It wasn't a bed of roses to deal with this strife
Good and bad sound easy to choose from
But in reality web of life is spun way beyond the norm
The worst thing was that she had to do it on her own
No one else could go in her place to atone
For the sins or bear the agony of the punishments
Which she would be subjected to for her transgressions
Her forlorn desire was to achieve redemption
But she was afraid it might never happen
Life was too elaborate how could she resist?
The temptations and illusions enshrouded her like mist
Waging a war more fearsome than one can imagine
Against the desires in her heart that were lodged in
There was majestic light and there was awful darkness
She knew, light she had to embrace and the dark, harness
If she let the darkness win she would be lead to ruin
Giving up was, in no wise an option
She knew not what the future would be
All she could do was try and leave the rest be
Would her worries be over and her goal achieved?
That was something only her Lord cognized
