The End Of A Chapter

Wishing for a way to show
Everything I have come to know
About love, life, and finding peace

But I keep it pent up inside
And attempt to run and hide
Seeking solace in my release

Walking on exhausted feet
On some long forgotten street
Looking for a sign and finding none

Echoing footfalls reflect my steps
Mocking my inevitable failure at my self-assigned test
Assuming I had lost when unknowingly I had won
The answer appears with bright neon lights
An obvious enemy to midnight blind sight
And no more obstacles for me to run through

In quiet reflection with palms to the ground
Taking in a breath of the life to which I’m bound
And end chapter one by beginning chapter two
