I scull these endless miles, no sleep

To hide the pain that’s hidden deep

With every breath inhaled, I ache

And wonder how much more I’ll take

Before, at last, my final bow

Will release my soul, which cries, but now

I will forge my way, to alleviate this mood

Lest I spend my life, in a constant brood

For this pain doesn’t have control over me

I am the victor, I will set myself free

Row across the river, with courage and fortitude

Where adversity will never, again, intrude

Tis moonrise, my pet

Find courage, in its light

Glide, among the stars

Become one, with the night

Never fear the darkness

It’s time to spread your wings

Imagine how your heart will soar

Amidst extraordinary things

I myself have journeyed

Where now I set you free

Fly, my dearest dragon

The world, is yours, to see

Authors Note:  We all have those demons hidden away.  This poem reflects the triumph over the evil.  Words in boldface, at the end of the poem, are the partial lyrics to the song “Slay the Dragon”, written by my dear friend, John Kooch.  Used with Permission.

Darkness hides in closets, deep

Awakens, when you’re fast asleep

Lurking in the corners, where

It roams about without a care

Closing in, around your bed

This demon lies, inside your head

Don’t let him get the best of you

Fight! With everything that’s true

“In the dark, behind closet doors
I’ve got mine, I know you have yours….
Slay the dragon, all the courageous are blessed
Slay the dragon, until there are no dragons left”

I don’t understand, when you argue and say

A memorial for the fallen, should not be displayed

A field of white crosses, eternal rest for the brave

A symbol of thanks, our flag on their grave

For ones who have fought, for your freedoms, your rights

Protecting your country, unafraid of the fight

Valor and courage stood tall, hand in hand

Remember, they gave you their all, they were proud Americans!

 

Always give thanks to the brave men and women who have given their lives so you can remain free.  ~Memorial Day 2016~

Obstacles impede

Yet Courage breaks boundaries

On the road ahead
