The dawn of a new life,
The resurrection of my withered soul,
The dusk of an old life,
The tears that once glistened no longer flow.
Im faced with an untimely maturity,
So cruelly have the curtains come down.
Devoid of love, of god, of security,
The smile in my heart is now a frown.
Isolated and confused as he searches for his path,
What I feel seems but a trifle compared to my brother.
Not being with him at this hard time, arouses me with wrath,
But I could never give him the affection of his mother.
Like a seed dispersed from a once blossoming flower
Searching for its destination for many a day.
Striving for redemption before that fatal hour,
Allowing future generations to fly away.
Tumultuous times have been overcome
Thanks to the altruism of those around me.
Thoughts of solitude used to make me numb,
But they have sparked life into a soul once dreary.
Appreciation seems greater now,
The things that I failed to do I bemoan,
Nature with love I now endow,
Life brimming around me, Im not alone.
