In a moment the truth flashes before my eyes
Out of the dark comes a hand to guide me
I close my eyes and pray, could I be dreaming?
Or is it really time to set my soul free

Tick tock, tick tock
I hear the clock on the wall
It's keeping beat to the sound of my heart
Ahhh the bitter-sweet memories of a November fall

I could cry a million tears
Would that be enough to chase the dark away
If I closed my eyes real tight and prayed
Would that ease my pain away and give me back today?

I try to search within my soul
For the answer I know is there
Reaching deep, I struggle as the pain stares at me
I notice that my heart has more than a mere tear

The anger is gone, I no longer question why
This sadness though remains, I can't pretend anymore
I long for the day when I wake up
To see my soul soar

"When life gives you sorrow, may you experience the spirit of laughter"

When anger is gone
It allows the song of the spirit
To return the joy that should be in it.

Good poem

Good to read your words again Amy.
Always from your heart.
hugs, Chris
