Maybe Tomorrow

The moon settles into the midnight sky 
the pale light strikes my skin 
a glimpse of dark torture 
Silence in its most splitting form 
alone i stand in the narrow river of life 
echos of the past clamor about 
smiles and tears anger and love
they touch the soul deeper than any fortunes can
i have been down i had a beautiful life 
silence escapes giving way to the beat of my heart 
maybe tomorrow ill find the way home 
perhaps the path will soon be clear 
the moon settles into the midnight sky 
the pale light stands with me free to break the darkness
