Peace

Can I have some solitude, please
Just for some days
Can I find some peace, please
Fighting that pain inside of me
Can I ask for your trust, please
Undeserved but sincere,

To hide from the light…

I need the space
I need the tranquility
I need the meditation
I need the peace

Needed it yesterday,
Need it today,
And certainly
Need it tomorrow…

Memories

Looking out the window
A vast space in front of me
Thinking back when pain was felt
And fear was ever present
Remembering times of loneliness

Crawling into my soul
A dark place to be, not free
Reflecting on that night, a long time ago
Being in dismay and pain
Waking up in a foreign place

Staring into a void
A distance, far away
Meditating, searching for some peace
An effort to make sense of it all
Accepting, at least trying… for now

Glancing at a beam of light
A glimpse of hope
Listening to your voice
Leading me down the path,
To find purpose and strength
