The Evenings Lake

I walk for sunshine
When day light refuses
To open her eyes

I move in a mist
To shelter those
Whom walk alone

I accept darkness
For it is I 
Who reflects it’s cries

I am okay
As long as 
You think I am 

I dare not yield my smile
For you find comfort
Only in my misery

I see trials before me
But I shall take this time
To remember us 

To get off my feet
To rest my head
Relax my shoulders

I’m alive 
I’m awake
I rose above

This 
evenings 
lake
