The Light Within
Blue stars shivered in the distance
The world around waited
Each day didn’t seem, each day craved it’s beams
No one could see, the woman
The chains of her past, interlocking
Tied her to a single moment in time
Her mind shackled, she leaped towards a setting sun
Squinting, grasping, and bound
Lost in the twilight
In an open, empty field
Alone in a lonesome dynasty
Amongst countless dreams
Nothing seemed, as it should.
Each day the sun would set
Each day she tried to forget
Until darkness would do as it could
But to the controlling darkness surprise
One day, Her strength came alive
Reborn inside of her love
And with interlocking chains in each hand
That woman took a resounding stand
And pulled her earth towards the setting sun
With blue stars turning white
Brightness overtaking an unending plight
She looked around and laughed at the undone
The fields came alive around her
With colors like you’ve never seen
She shined brighter than any setting sun
No longer shackled, creating her own beams
