The days grow short, nights are shorter

I’m a wife, a mother, and a daughter

Pulled in all directions, until I’m numb

It’s no wonder why, I’m feeling glum

I need some space, to call my own

A quiet spot, where I’m unknown

No one to call my name, out loud

Far away, from the roaring crowd

Yet, I do not know, of such a place

To live my life, at my own pace

One day I hope to find that peace

When overwhelming moments cease

Clouds that swirl in azure skies

Waters flowing before my eyes

Catch me in hypnotic spells

Watching, as my dreams are quelled

Under sky, and over sea,

Is this where life has taken me?

Letting go, my thoughts do wander

Scattering about, it makes me ponder

What does all this really mean?

To be stuck here, in between

Through ruins, I try to make my escape

Unable to see, yet I sense my mistake

Moving about, with no reason nor rhyme

Knowing, so well, I’m near out of time

Can’t remove this mask, there’s no point in asking

Dare to take one more step, I feel my life crashing

Trying to run, from what I fear most

I find myself, floating, as now I am a ghost

Sitting on the moon above

Looking down upon the land

I have to wonder what it is

That people find so grand

There are wars without intention

And rebels, without a cause

I wish they would just stop it all

Take a deep breath, and pause

Find the hope in one another

It seems long ago, forgotten

Throw away that hatred

Into the trash, the rotten

Join together, hand in hand

In peace and joy, there of

So when I look down from my perch

All I can see, is love

What happens when the words just fade?

When thoughts no longer are displayed

Upon the empty parchment, where

They used to dance, without a care

Poured so sweetly from my pen

I need to find those words, again

The ones that bared my heart and soul

Emotions, I could not control

Perhaps, they’ve found another place

And I am just another face

Perchance, they’ll once again return

To quell this everlasting yearn
