Resolution

Its so easy to take that step back
Away from the situation, the feelings
If you have another place to rest
If you’re all on your own
You take your space so far
To be left lost and cold
You must become your own anchor
A rock, an island, a fortress
Alone, withheld, and secure
Become yet again your own master
Forge your armor anew
Shroud your heart, steel your mind
Remember the lessons you learned
Forgive the mistakes you made
Focus on the skills you gained
Fix your sight on what is to be
Shed the weight of regrets
Move ever onward, toward the horizon

Stormy Night

The anguish crests, the tears break
As waves thrown upon a shore
The loneliness sweeps along
As the tide drawn to the moon
This helpless agony, as steady as the sea
Anger, then sullen silence, then a storm of emotion
Squalling in rage, sobbing in grief
Searching for a port, a light to guide a path
No safe harbor, no solid land
All is tossing and turning
All is darkness and clouded night
All is heaving, drowning and choking
