Ashes And Dawn

The wound cut deep, the night stretched far,

Each whispered pain transformed into a scar.

I draped myself in sorrow’s veil,

And let the silence softly prevail.

Time, that steadfast and soothing guide,

Washed away the tears that I used to hide.

New light seeped through the cracks I bore,

And taught my heart to dream once more.

What pain once hardened me into stone,

Now, it leaves me softer, no longer alone.

I walk ahead, with my past at my back

A little bruised, yet still on track.
