THE LIGHT FROM WITHIN
Alone I walk the cave of my night
A black space that no one can enter
Even if they asked
While I dance in a corner
A faint glow cuts me
My shadow appears
I hide away from the beam
The fear takes over
My eyes shut closed
I can sense those pirates
Ready to steal my shadow
Pretending to be their own
They can do what they want
Destroy in vain its shape
Walk all over it
I hold the light
It is my light
I make my shadow
They block my light
I don’t care
I cary the light from within me
I allow a beam to escape
So bright my shadow disappear
My spirit shines
Attracted they flock around me
Embarrassed I get it covered
And back to the cave I go
SHOOTING FOR THE STARS
Between here and the target
Spreads a vastness of unknowns
The time its takes to aim is worthy
A weakness in the arm
And the arrow is crocked
Flying lost worlds away
Getting distracted
By ephemeral shimmers
Is a sure way of missing
They all look so wonderful
Celestial diamonds
Fireworks of the milky way
If you don’t let anything
Blind your vision
You will reach the stars
ASCENSION
I tried my best to live life to the fullest. Everyday is a new day. I go my way and out of the dark, they were waiting for me, or maybe anyone that could be passing by. The pain, the embarrassment is too great. I fall to my knees. My mind is confused, stressed but there is no doubt something is wrong. I do not want to stay that way because the sun does not seem to shine anymore. I relearn how to dance within the storm. I take my courage by the hands and shake my head. I finally get up. Now I see I am able to ascend to something better.
