I am lying back on the sand…
As I try to find answers
To a million questions in my head.
The night is starry
The moon gives me company.
Will I ever accomplish it?
Will I ever live my reverie?
But only my shivering sentiments come to rescue me.
I want to scream so I can fight my fears
The waves hitting the shore… bury all sounds in my throat.
I close my eyes, a darkness beyond the starry night
A tear trickles down my eye.
I can’t see the direction of my destination anymore
In the obscurity of this dream
I see a window….a ray of hope
I feared to look outside, too scared to discover something worse.
As I drew closer to this window
I hear different voices coming from within
Voices of my longings.
Voices of my longings.
With that came a vision of what I had achieved.
What I’ve always been.
I stood there at that window shivering with fear.
Suddenly the darkness disappeared and I open my eyes.
I see the sun coming up at the horizon,
Eyes still wet from what I had seen,
Suddenly I felt goose bumps.
The orange shimmer from the rising sun,
The waves were now hushed…
Talking quietly among themselves,
Like they knew what I had seen
The sand on the beach looked beautiful.
Seeing the scenic beauty,
I closed my eyes in relief.
Nothing is unattainable; I wish I had seen this before.
The window of learning, finding my real self.
After the darkest night comes a dawn
My dawn’s breaking here now.
Life will turn a new leaf.
I walk back home,
Head held up high…
I look at the sun in the eye
I walk now, With a smile on my face.
And all my shivering sentiments are trounced upon.
