My Minds Retreat

Its been a while since i felt the paper like this,

A feeling i truley did not miss,

only the kiss of pain could make me write,

its a strong feeling to try and fight,

I have to get myself straight and this is the only way,

to direct myself towards this sheet,

Bring it to life,

to express my minds retreat,

The beauty it hides in time of peace,

you see it come out from beneath,

times of hurt it shines bright,

but happiness back in the night,

It cradles my heart into a dreamless sleep,

comforts as nightmares creep,

feelings dull away into a blur,

thoughts of hope obscure,

but i always find the light no matter how dark,

the spring time in the local park,

sometimes things must stay black and dusk,

in order for my heart to adjust.
