SILHOUETTED SHADOWS

Severe headaches bleed through me
Isolated in loneliness and desperately
Longing to belong, to truly belong
Hang on whether right or wrong
Own the night by holding on to the light
Understand that you and I are full of delight 
Empty no more and elevated to the core
Tranquility pours forth all the more
The end of me is the beginning of you 
Envy and pride aren’t good, so be kind and gentle
Do not be dangerously able to be off track and unstable

Sincere with utmost cheerfulness
Hope and endless fearlessness
And endure through these tribulations 
Determined to be overflowing with elations
Oblivious to the silhouetted shadows, spreading
Wide and ascending…never-ending regretting 
Solace prevails over sorrow now
