Within the Silence

I will step outside, into the sun. Leaving the shadows behind. No time to waste, on the run. There is something that I must find. My heart is open to seek the light, Forcing the darkness to fade. For my spirit, to again take flight. I will honor a promise I've made. To let go of who I was, and be who I am. Though it is becoming more uncertain. On the surface, my life, a sham. a play that remains behind the curtain. Am I able to step out on the stage, into the the bright, hot light? My playbill open, I will turn the page. But I have no words to write. I speak, but there is no one there, just me, within the silence. Echoing from everywhere, beginning to make sense. If I can find the right words to say, and repeat them until I believe. The sun will shine on me again someday. My spirit yearning to receive.
