…its’ inevitable journey

Ever watchful as the day is dying
I fear the shadows
but the night will continue its’ inevitable journey
I ceaselessly bear the darkness
hoping it will disappear
I accept my wounds and conceal my scars
as dark thoughts rise up from within
I turn away from ancient regrets
with a trace of sadness
allowing myself that choice
finally walking in the light
I lose my place in time and space
no intention to ever catch up
enjoying the sun on my face
not wary of wanting
for I know I am someone’s eternity
and vowing that my despair will never return
I am making my way in this world
ever hopeful of finding my place
and one day I will let my heart
touch someone’s soul
but in the in between
the night and I will continue
our inevitable journey
