Wrote this while thinking about an opportunity I was presented.

Daylight, seen from afar, beyond the dark, the hallowed star

Forsaken, bound by the black of darkness, swallowed in sin

Dare I tread ahead, reaching pass the emptiness, to seek it whole

Everything I’ve ever imagined, the restoration of peace within my control

With each passing morning, my soul continuously awakens

Unaware of the slow death, a rapid pacing heart, moving at a snail’s pace

Teaching my eyes to look beyond the stars, gazing into it all

Wondering what I’ve yet to behold, wondering how long I’ll stall

I’ve yet to reach my zenith; the peak is plain in-sight

But the journey is long, withered soul fail me not this night

I’ve given it my all, to reap what I sow, it’s all I long to bear

The increase I give, only hoping it’s what she’s willing to share

Life, in all her beauty, gorgeous and repulsive in the same manner

Guiding us straight and through waiving her glorious white banner

A sign of peace, tranquil ease and love, and all we long for

A moment of hope, a fragment of jubilation upon this deserted shore

To think you’ve come this far, and fate pledges a promising spade

Ponder long before the moment, before you accept the charade

Is it truth, held out in plain sight, triumph, truly a moment of glee

Or maybe just an empty entrapment, I’ll just wait and see
