~"Beauty of the Night"~

  As the darkness of night falls There lies so many unshown Burdens, Things from the past that have left wounds Yet too afraid to Make them known to Others. She hides them in the deepest depths Keeping them locked in the most secret parts of her Heart, While brushing and abandoning all that was once loved and sacred to her off by the way side. She begins yearning to find the peace that she once knew The same peace she so longs for now Waiting for something or someone to put her trust in But how can she trust her loved ones After all the pain that's been afflicted to her already Anxious to reach out of these trenches The one she has grown so used to Tears begin to fall and hit the soil beneath her As she starts to breakdown and cry Turning to look at the stars that fill the Heavens With tears still glistening on her already Moist Cheek She notices the difference of the stars How some are twinkling ever so brightly While others seem faint and distant. At this moment all she brings back are Memories Of what her life once used to be Glowing awesomely with potential and promise Just as the twinkling stars above Yet while the faint ones only remind Where her Heart resides Currently While gathered around her peers A simple front is all she puts on Yet, The reality of her soul and whence she stands Is as faint as the stars floating in the Sky As another tear glides down her cheek, She now feels more alone then ever Looking up once more upon the night Her perspective of the stars appear different Something that was not there before The image of a man was created by the glow of the stars, Both the bright and faint working together The outline of the stars portrayed an image A man with arms wide open It was so comforting it reminded her of Jesus Never praying before she knelt down and tried, Scared that she might screw up with words and fear God might not here, she still tried Her words flew out like spit from her mouth Words of Pain, Suffereing, Confusion, and best of all Joy She once again cried, This time though was different For her pain, burdens, and suffering were Lifted The stars seemed to glow a little brighter that night For she finally found someone to put her trust in. --End-- Adam W
