Within Me

For once-
I know longer loiter sidewalks of hopelessness
Nor starve for happiness
Among scraps of pottery
But rather within future-
Is where it lies

For love’s tragedy has departed
On a bittersweet note
Yet one of content
As the search for survival ends

Because it’s within me-
As it has been all along

Yet oblivion always seemed to tussle my thoughts
As mind overrode heart

Until it became but a valuable lesson

“Follow you heart
Never give up while accepting what is;
Look beyond idealism to discover truth;
Always hold on to your dream,
Never let it flee from your grasp
Yet do not cling to it for life.”

It was today I captured that glimpse
Through rose-colored glasses
