Walks into the Night

I set outside with a bustling mind,
a day just like yesterday in kind,
but a new futile attempt to leave everything behind,
looking for the peace which one day I may find.

It felt as if Hell was descending upon my head,
but it was nothing but the blazing sun,
the sun that was setting lower and lower with each step I made,
catalyzing all of the thoughts I so tried to rid from my head.

And then it came to me, why was I fleeing from such wonder?
Why would I even be against thoughts of you?
Is it not but of the most beautiful one can muster?
And then I felt like I fell into the blue,
full of answers which I soon began to pursue.

Perhaps I was afraid of losing you,
something I never even possesed, stilll so crushing,
like doves mercilessly shot down,
chains of hope falling into an abyss, an everlasting journey down.

But then, I thought of a chance, hope emerged within me,
why in the Heavens not? Maybe after all we are destined to be.
A gleam of light in a young man's heart,
fickered brighter and brighter as he walked into the night.
