THE GIRL
FROM FARAWAY
the silence
surrounding her
deafens her
aching soul
as she
ponders on some distant thoughts
that
continue to haunt her down,
a faraway
look can be traced down from her mystic eyes
the look of
a yearning heart
dying to
escape from this wilderness she’s in,
she looked upon the stunning stars from the
heavens
as she
lamented if she could just fly there to a castle up above the sky.
Every
morning, when there’s a thick haze outside
Her mind
wanders to a sanctuary
Only in her
dreams she can see,
As she
dreams on, tears come rolling down her eyes
Like dew
drops falling in an autumn day,
The mind
can’t conceive sometimes
What the heart is secretly screaming out loud
inside.
As she
traverses hidden valleys and crossed
The high
seas in every nightmare she weaves,
She dare
not step in to a forbidden place in her past
A voice
somewhere warns her not to go through that tunnel once more,
And
continue to move forward towards the light at the end
And so she
walks on with bare feet touching the warm ground
With robins
and seagulls following her trail
While
singing her a joyful melody together with the
Rhythmic
sound of the splashing waves.
Alas! She
finally arrived at her final destination
As a blinding
light came flashing in,
Towards her
countenance
Illuminating
her whole being,
Giving her
a calming grace
Touching
her inner core
Soothing
her aching soul.
“I have
seen the light!” she uttered in deep amazement
And that
was just the start of a wondrous life
She created
again for herself
To be a
living example of one who
Faced her
own ghosts of yesterday,
Of one who
have overcome
The dark
moments triumphantly.
