On the Crest of a Wave

Yesterday has no hold on me, 
The night doesn’t have me in its chamber, 
My fears, I have shoved aside, 
I'm not perturbed by what rages on the inside. 

I go through the tempest, 
I find a way through the woods, 
I cocoon the ill moods, 
I'm on summer's crest. 

My heart trembling don’t deter me,
I go beyond the sea,
I stand on Hope's stage, 
I script my lines on Dawn's page, 

The birds sing to me, 
I'm out of the gloomy room, 
I'm awakened to bloom, 
The meadow colours my day.
