Bright yellow sole full of laughter
Gazing hazel eyes full of light
Steel blue strength that brought what I was after
The red of love in my heart at night
Everything that used to be so loud now silent
Everything so bright now faded
My mind seems so turbulent
How did I become so cold and jaded
A life that was born in vibrant color
has now retreated to the dark
How can one person open the other
How can someone remove a spark
I used to be a sole that saved others
now I am drowning in myself
In search of a strength like my mother's
Somewhere up on a shelf
I see the bright orange light
it seems so far and faded
I hope that I can reach it tonight
so that I can be liberated
I hope the cell I built can be unfurled
I hope that I am able to flee
To once more see the colors of the world
and finally be free

Engulfing Light
I have not been very successful in quieting my mind this evening. I find that as time goes by, I find myself in deeper contemplation, in regards to the purpose of my life. I can say with certainty, that thus far, I have had a life, that with all things considered, has been a well lived one.
