A Certain Solace

Posted by "CavalierZee"

Withdraw and surrender
Or restore and live?
Painfully utter or sing joyously aloud.
Or impair fatally to ruin
All that comes to you.
The choice is yours.

Enhance the beauty of your life 
Like a twilight cirrus streaked sky.
Illuminate your life in daily joys.
For joys there are!

Live an anguished life in mask of grief?
Or find solace in this diorama of
Changing colour and direction.
Sink or swim?

Renounce, abandon,
Or repair and mend?
The choice is yours.

Enter that empty void of senselessness?
Or find that certain solace.
Swim to the top, swim to the top,
Do not succumb to misery.

Lift yourself from daily pain.
Fight against this hanging pendent of rage
You wear so well.
Leave behind that ache
As heavy as a dying bloom.

Live your life…
And find that certain solace.
