dawning

comes at a time not determined by man's clock

@journeyofdays

guileless
now you can accept
the pain that you bore

@journeyofdays

when you know that
everything has led to this moment

@journeyofdays

all at once
the path is revealed
you see home

@journeyofdays

What became of me?
Stripped of my identity
Grief engulfed my soul
Where is the girl of old?
Was I simply existing
Inside a well formed shell?
No-one new my weaknesses,
No-one could tell.
What became of me?
Stripped of my identity
When you came to me
I was oh, so happy
You left me feeling hijacked
And my world was shattered through
Now I’ve lost my confidence
And lies became the truth.
What became of me?
Stripped of my identity.
I’ve become so sad
Thinking of what I could have had
I must learn to live with this
Yesterday’s girl non-existent
Now I have to get to know
The me I really ought to show
I’m living with a stranger in my head.
What became of me?
Now I see that I am free
Welcome in the new
And start to become truer to myself

at least for this day
it calls for a submission
a call to account
be engulfed by the terminal end of the sunlight hours
setting clouds, earth and sea alight
a final fiery anointing


whispers are that you are sorry
reaching some level of self-awareness
I wonder if you are enjoying the same clarity
like this one here
with the sun setting fire to the waters
lapping at my feet


confident here at water’s edge
I see what has happened
and choose not to be part of the psychosis
you continue to spin
stirring up micro storms and wreckage
fueling dark fires to cover your prickled hide

fire on water
is not the end of revelation
there is a pause for the night
I will sleep wiser
knowing that I have taken the right course
you are no longer part of my journey


this day ends
it takes my submission
and examination of conscience performed
subsumed into the terminal end of the sunlight hours
another fiery rebirth
it floods the dark

@journeyofdays

What? You need healing?
You are the kind of person
Who can heal herself!

Contemplating meaning
       known paths seceding
into an abyss
       of what could be

Then all at once
The heavens became empty
And as dark as the void
From which God created them
And I knew in my soul
The era of mankind had ended
Yet the faithful remained
To watch the nothingness unfold
And the stars die out
From the eternity spoke a truth
As unseen hands shaped a world
That was always meant to be
"Let there be light."
