The Journey Home

When the atmosphere gives way to black

Is when we search for our true way back

Before the dusk and after the dawn

We’ll find the way home before we’re done

 

Though the sky is black as the pitch of night

Lost, I will not fall because I feel no fright

And I know I soar with my demons at my side

I shall not let them win the race to the light

 

My fears conquer the anguish I suffer indefinitely

And I feel the grips of angels slipping from my feet

Don’t give in, I chant mentally as I push on

Hoping that by the next night I will see the dawn

 

I look around me and remember I’m not alone

For others are trying to survive the way home

Their wings stretched across the heavens

As they glide against the atmosphere’s dome

 

Dark clouds invade the sky like bruises

You can’t help but begin to feel useless

And as the heavens start to cry

We feel this home we wanted was a lie

 

But as we keep going, held together within

Hearing others fall as they decide to give in

We see a light up ahead and smile

It seemed God’s answer took a while

Author's Note

I know in this life, it will be hard, and we're all searching for the way home... Just keep your head up, and pursue the dream, and you'll make it, no matter how hard the journey... just keep going, don't ever let go...

The hope and emotion in this was different and alive, like electricity it jumped across the page but calm and fluid as water it carried the weight of the words perfectly, reflects the belief close to your heart and mirrors your devotion. x
