Breaking Through

Darkness looms over my shadow

Just at the break of dawn
A flutter of wings in the distance
And then the moment’s gone.

I wonder do I need to or
Maybe it’s good as it is
But something inside me tells me
Is this all that there is

To life, love and it all
To great, big and small
To the one’s that bring it
And to the one’s that take it all

My mind rambles as
The chains and shackles rattle
A glimpse of what was once wanted
And maybe then a victorious battle

Who knew the strife was within
Calm and clear my words never wrong
Who knew the demons I have
Were heroes with their unsung song

Should I let them out now
Oh, do I have the strength I mope
To let them out in all their glory
To give them the wings of hope.
