Thoughts weigh down the spirit
Sadness betrays a once happy heart
Death seems to be the only comforting thought
Casket of wood make for a eternal mask
Energy slowly flowing from ones life
Like a mist the rips the sun out of the sky
Not know how or why
Slowly fading away
Standing at the edge of a desolate bed of sand
Eyes bleeding tears
Heart flooding with blood
Letting every emotion run free
All I have to give is me
Water of sapphires
Beautiful yet so very deadly
To touch, one would drowned in anguish
To drink, on would be robbed of thirst
Kneeling down,
I place my hand upon the curse waters
That have streamed from my soul
Further I submerse my hand to my wrist
Suddenly a jerk from the depths,
Pulls me to my elbow
Bracing my free hand against the hot sands
I scream with all my might to be broke free
Fear in my heart
A voice speaks to me
“Look into the waters.
Look deep and tell me who you see”<br>With my body trembling
I look into the endless crystal waters
My heart racing
Sweat beading on my forehead,
Running down my face
Then stinging my eyes
A reflection is had
But it is not of my own
It is of a child long past
One that’s pain will never subside
For someone so young
Her face bears many scars of pain
As she reaches out for me
My heart breaks
Slight movements are made
The water ripples
Slowly the youth of the girl
Washes to the image of wisdom
Her eyes still hold grand sadness
Tears still stream like an endless water fall
Skin so weathered with time
She reaches through the waters barriers
Gently caressing my face
With an aged voice
She softly whispers while looking deep into my soul
“ Be who you are.
Never give into the depths of sorrow like I have.
Let your heart be your guide, not your demise.”<br>
Her word echoed in my head
As she silently became one with the waters again
Then my arm was released
As I arose back to my feet
I glanced back into the water
This time the reflection I saw was not one of a hurting child
Or a woman of eternal wisdom and grace
It was me, just me
With a smile upon my face
Sadness betrays a once happy heart
Death seems to be the only comforting thought
Casket of wood make for a eternal mask
Energy slowly flowing from ones life
Like a mist the rips the sun out of the sky
Not know how or why

Eyes bleeding tears
Heart flooding with blood
