The Colour of Blue

Something is different it all feels so real,

As time ticks on so many new things I have begun to feel,

Love for myself... strange as it sounds,

I think time is slowly pausing, allowing life to turn around,

Everything around me is shade of joy, a tinge of happiness,

My soul is getting what it desired most.... Forgiveness,

The sky is the limits as clouds pillow my head,

I no longer look to tomorrow with anxiety and dread,

Something holds me, cradles me and holds me,

A thing, a being that I cannot see,

It's hard to explain, even harder to understand,

But I believe life's chaotic hell is now unfurling into a lovely plan,

Perhaps it is I who has changed, opened up to some new truth? Ah possibly!

Maybe it was always there to be seen, but I was blind to its beauty,

Free as a lark, my heart soars with the white wings of a dove,

I have discovered the purpose of my existence: the sharing of love,

And there is a great dearth of it on this wounded world, oh a woeful song,

Where our sole past time is to prove each other wrong,

Each one claiming to be better or smarter than the other, Ha! Such a lie,

But none of this bothers me as I watch a moonbeam go by,

Caressing my windowsill, and kissing my skin,

It adds a delicate silvery touch as I breathe the night's air in,

The cool pinch of it further awakens my spirit and I feel it fly,

Far into the Alpine mountains and over the pacific seas, I can't help but smile,

It's all going to be okay... and for once I believe,

My time's been a long time coming... something I never once conceived

At this juncture I make a solemn vow,

To people and society's incredibly illogical views I will never bow,

I am my own person true at heart,

Damaged along the way, but beautiful from the start,

I will enjoy every second of this ray of love by dancing in its glory,

And singing its happy story,

It is my time now, and I will have every second of its existence,

Enough of this life of miserable pittance,

I wish I could fly away and reach my dreams soon,

Meanwhile my life seems to be painted my favourite happy colour of blue.
