My Soul

As I stand on the edge of darkness
The full moon rises
Slowly, slowly on the horizon

The darkness within takes shape
It manifests as my fears and worries
It drives me towards despair

The light that once shone within
Seems dim on this day
In the wake of the mind's troubles

Then something
Let's say exhaustion
Takes hold of me

It wants me to fade
Away into the darkness
To become nothing

Then the light of the full moon
Lights the sun within
And despair and bitterness fade away

Still the worry remains
But my inner nature now knows
The dance of light and darkness within

My soul trembles and sways
Like the grass in gentle breezes
But like the grass
I know it will not break
