Today I sat and bowed my head
as I looked back over my life,
Feeling again the shame
of all my failures and mistakes,
Reliving each one again
as if freshly done,
Bearing again the pain
and the agony of despair.
Tonight I glance to the sky
to watch the moons glow,
Seeing its light illuminate the world
in a soft blue shine,
Peeling away the illusions
and casting out the shadows,
Leaving the world like my soul
with nothing left hidden.
Tomorrow is a new day
and with it a new start,
With a chance to move forward
and learn from the past,
So that the pain does not return
and burden me again,
For the pain strips it all
and leaves nothing hidden.
