My thoughts were once dark, grey clouds

Scattered and foreshadowing out a lucid, clear view

I used to let the cold, gusty winds put powerful, excessive force to my body

As I sat and waited for the skies to be crystal clear

 

the shadows enlarges a reflection of me behind my back

I face the sun, absorning its radiating heat

And allow its light to illuminate a brighter world for people to be thankful for

One that I am eager to be a part of, and create my legacy

 

Now even when the night engulfs me

I do not fear of seeing the unseeing

I do not hesitate at the return of the sun as i embrace with grace that symbolizes life

For I am prepared to see another day

 

I do not hide like tears of rain pouring its cries

I reach the sky along with the trees

I stand my ground with the mountains

i watch and absorb like an eagle establishing its peace

 

And even when the faces will change

I find the initiative to adapt

under my feet I feel the world turning, evolving to newer heights

I do not falter because I know life continues on (with or without me)

 

I have stood on the shoulders of giants

Better men who have allowed a path for me to walk

I walk with their ghosts along contorted paths

I carry their lessons to pave the way for lost souls

 

And now I know all my wrongs provide a second chance to be right

Increments of time expose virtues to an open mind

And now on mountain tops where I combat the cold gusts

I strike the wind with sighs of relief
