A Silver Locket

The early dawn brings new light
The essence of spring awakening my slumber
I rise with ease from a bed of roses
The energy from my adobe filling me with integrity.

Days go by and there I still stand
Rooted to my grounds embalmed with your faith
You brought me up with compassion and gave me the trust
Shaping me into who I am with love that will always last.

A silver locket springs to mind
Eccentric and divine it hasn’t lost its shine
A gift for an achievement it once used to be
It now holds more significance than what the eye can see.

Far away I am standing now
Away from all the comfort I once knew
The silver locket keeps the memories alive
A symbol of love, comfort and care it never leaves my side.

For two decades I am truly blessed
Because of you I now stand where I stand
Neither words nor actions can rival your sacrifices
With that I am forever grateful to be cherished with your love.

Morning Star

The falling rain awakes the sorrows buried deep inside her
The darkness of her thoughts clouding all her smiles
Day by day she waits for a better tomorrow
Tomorrow comes and goes and there she still waits.

The morning star shines brightly guiding her way
She turns to see, but sees nothing but darkness
She tries to reach, but feels nothing but cold air
She tries to listen, but hears nothing but her heartbeat.

The morning star never sets and shines brightly blinding her eyes
She tries so hard to reach, but feels nothing but emptiness
The emptiness creeps deeper and deeper the harder she tries

She tries to let go, but keeps being pulled back.

She finally breaks loose with all the strength she possesses
The morning star glowing dimmer as she takes each step backwards

She takes one last glance at the orange glow
She tries to justify, but all she sees is a black hollow.
