On & On

Screaming but the words don't come out

Only in her dreams is she ever able to shout

Left in silence, feeling defeat

What happens when her heart and voice cant meet

Who could she turn to that would fully understand

Furthermore would they even dare to take her hand

Hold her and say

‘Darling it will be ok’

And ever in a way

Where all the darkness holds at bay

Certainly in this life there will come a time

Where there is rest, and peace, and sublime

Off in the distance she still holds out hope

Up the hill she climbs, the steepest of slopes

The beauty all around, where her focus lies

Climbing in altitude, up towards the sky

Back down to earth, worry dissipates for now

Grounded in today, unconcerned with the how

Hillsides and waterfalls and flowers all around

Thanks in her heart, knowing she is found

Held by mother nature, although still distant

Helps overcome trials, at least in this instant

Higher and higher, the peak now in sight

But is it the first or the last, only known by flight

Each crest an achievement, a moment of rejoice

The journey, its stunning, slowly finding her voice

Not as she thought, it rarely ever is

But still present, maybe only internal bliss…

Expressed from within. Maybe noise isn’t necessary

Light, energy, expression can be just as extraordinary

Revived and present, marching on with great stride

Determined with each step, to shine from inside
