Journey Towards a New Future

At the edge of despair , i stand in wait, Quiet and content , awaiting my fate, The hour was late and time had run its course , No longer can i draw hope from any source, For years i struggled through hardships and misery. Wondering if i had been victim to a naysayers banter, So i lie in wait now in defeat, Waiting for Grim's clutches , to release me providing a quick retreat. A light then shone , brighter then any I've ever witnessed , An angel descended and stood before my eyes, Whispering gently, '' Let me free you from all the lies '' She sensed my broken spirit and a need for guidance, A promise was then made , with her loving assurance A journey we undertook to renew my faith, The path was riddled with misery and hate, At time it proved more then my mind could contemplate, Whenever the journey proved impossible for me to bear, She would gaze into my eyes and say '' never despair ''. The path was long and never-ending, Till we reached a sight of pure wonder , no man could deny, I took rest in her arms , reaching out for her hand, She held mine firmly , and assured this moment would never end, However her time was short on this mortal realm , Our hands parted , and she ascended back to the heavens , My life once lost and fragmented, i had now regained, A newfound hope and determination i have gained, No longer surrendering to the whims of fate , I journey ahead , towards a new future i will create.
