solace

 
hateful dawn look away
don't peer into my soul today
in my reckoning hours--
there will be time enough to take note of my being

wisdom my tarnished crown
no longer of use
I seek sanctuary in the solemn silence
there may I find reprieve
my debt too great
I throw myself into the fray

understanding no longer knows my name
chaos my undoing
I can not reconcile my thoughts
lonely are my days wandering

I can see you at first blush
as you usher back the darkness
inside your solace I am found...whole
