Shadows falling
in the night
Trying to find
what is right
Searching, flailing,
falling, fight
Finding the way,
without flight
Standing still,
do not run
Await the magic,
the setting sun
Will try to guide
your soul to fun
Not the way
of the knife or gun
Let go of anger
Pain and woes
Let go of fighting
Against your foes
Open soul
to love and light
Lay down the gun,
give up the fight
Leave things alone
that hurt your soul
Don’t look back
When you let go
Onward, upward
Pushing on
Finally becoming
No longer withdrawn
Opening up
To the world
Letting your heart
And love unfurl
Treasure each moment
Of life given you
Never give up
Love will shine through.
