In the darkness

When the night fell,

            Out of sheer exhaustion I lied down.

All I wanted was my peace

I frantically searched for it.

            Hurried gazes. . .some here some there.

How would I ever know where?

I closed my eyes yet I could see,

Flurry of thoughts flood my brains.

Why did I ever think I'd be forgiven,

And when my inner voice grew louder,

I shut my ears and ran for shelter:

To a place where I could hide my tears.

Seconds later. . .

As I was standing beneath the eternal sky;

Its vastness and its greatness made me realize:

It was all temporary. . .everything that ever was. . .that is. . . and that ever will be.

I was assured that "Someday, I will rest in peace".
