fears assailant | the hope that comes from within
This Challenge is part of the Vocal+ Summer Writing Series. The Prompt: Write a poem that feels like sunlight touching the surface.

when your'e around, I feel awakened.
a certainty comes despite where fate can take us
the tremble of pain from within subsides;
and the laws of nature upon which which we abide
simpler man says: I'm paying for my sins,
but there's so much more than what crawls beneath my skin
a truer stage in the world of braves
for am I but, another: knave?
you took the call, from Him, you wake
and within my fate, you killed the snake
desperate and strung while screaming for kings'
along you come, graceful, with wings
wrapping yourself around me true,
little known and without shoes
an open heart
no truer song
from the shadow's slept you've forever long
been there for me I'm but naive
thank you for your Grace.
tend my broken parts
lift me out of the shadow
and into the sun;
your light saves in the heat of the fray
for when night comes the demons stay.

I enjoy writing from the hip in planned segments. Sometimes I make a habit of over correcting myself. Typing makes it easier to output closer to the rate I can think at. #survivor #findingharmony
