Radiance

it feels like I am leaving shore
bound for new adventures
embarking on an endless quest

I’m leaving land behind
exiled and afraid
I turn my head and realize
there is no turning back

I’m not complaining
I’m not asking for sympathy
for this hole inside my soul
I cannot heal
it feels like I am awake and dreaming
it seems like I am awake and dreaming

it seems that I can’t comprehend
the lessons I have learned
forgetting wisdoms I have preached

these infuriating storms
are tearing me apart
nothing left for me to save
nothing left to salvage
