In the darkness...
In this silence of the early morn,
i find my peace.
It is in these waking hours,
first moments of the new day,
that i find myself.
For an instant, the world around me,
that deafening, never ending machine,
lay in silent slumber.
At last, my journey begins,
one taken so many times before.
I travel inward.
To my place,
my haven of safety,
my one true sanctuary.
It is there that i find my strength,
my courage replenished,
it is there...my sanity resides.
Hiding from the pain, the hardships,
the trials of yesterday,
it is there... i find me.
Readying myself,
to begin life's journey anew,
preparing to face another day.
