When the sun sets
And the moon is crescent and thin
When darkness covers the lights within
Candles flicker
In the village above the clouds
And I see the tranquility of a world passing by
Tranquility

Growth
The girl missed seeing
The creatures hiding in the brush
And the song they sang
When all else was hush
But the girl, a woman now
Replaced fun with a crown
And bare feet
With shoes too tight
The girl, in the woman
Looks on in the dark night
Hoping to see them again
Scars
He counted the moles covering her skin
As he brushed away the cloth that hid what’s within
And for once
She did not feel the shame
Of scars she cared not name
Rearranged
She felt it
Every now and then
The shiver
The thrill within
As she read words
Or saw some art
She knew
She had to be a part
Of a life worth living
Art that’s thrilling
So she wrote on
Hoping to be remembered
For borrowed words
Rearranged
Fate
She couldn’t remember
A choice
A long forgotten voice
A sound from deep within
A place to begin
Was it fate?
Was it a decision?
She couldn’t remember the beginning
That led her here
…
Do you remember your purpose?
