Clear View

Life is a mystery
everyday writing a piece of history
becoming entertainment
at the same time
becoming heroes 
 Only today
does yesterday become clear
out of the darkness
today shines upon the past
 Understanding the questions
we once asked ourselves
after having lived through it
it's like looking into a rear view mirror
 Seeing all that was done
making sense of events
after the stress
 Learning to trust
growing in faith
only after being tested
tried each day by fire
 Only shining 
as gold
after the fact 
things are clear
