The Dark Night
The dark of night brings sharp things to mind
I must search for peace, to find
Visions re-played that I can’t avoid now
A part of life, I must accept somehow
Images and fear, return from long ago, new
With the dark from places I suffered, but flew
--- Away, away ---
From all the ruins left behind in the dust
Always knowing that survival is a must
Old days cannot be replaced with light
Those days erased, swept away with fright
It has been years of work to be safe and content
Holding onto the blessings that were sent
To make me see, I can create the life I want
Even with every piece of trauma that daunts
