What I Want

I  want to write with passion and let my soul sing;
create a story of love and heartbreak,
break free from rivers of loss
and cultivate a well-spring
of hope and redemption.

I want to embrace loneliness and fear;
bolster inner courage and strength;
trudge unknown pathways without hesitation.

I want to walk in solitude,
lift the veil of sadness,
find my way back
and learn to live again.

In doing so,
I will awaken from a deep slumber
as I discover anew
the silent joy of peace.
