Birthday

Eighteen years my friend
Life on earth
Divine
Beauty found
And lost
Light falls upon the dark
Illuminates the mind
Expands the soul
Opens the heart
Love
I laugh
What joy in ignorance
I cry
In pains suffered
Afflictions
I hope
I dream
I see the path before
The frosty sea
Setting sail
The rotten deck below
I fly
Gliding upon the breeze
I fall
Silently whispering
Words
Sweet nothings
Entranced
I rest
Sleeping away the hours
Yet awake
I lie
Tossed in the sorrowed storm
I wait
Wait for the hallowed day
I remember
His death
My life
All that has
All the was
I plan
All that will
Tomorrow.
