I sat in silence, waiting for a change,
Watching the sun so full of joy in the morning,
But darkness filled the night.
I try to look forward,
But I keep falling.
I turn to see what lies behind me,
But nothing is there,
Only conflict and crisis,
Which could have been stopped
But were allowed to continue.
I continue my journey,
Searching for a perfect place,
Not to stay,
But to live, even if just for a short while.
I saw trouble from behind,
But my mind kept moving,
I hope to see the goodness of life.
Instead, I saw darkness.
In place of harmony,
The bird sang a sorrowful song.
In place of a sweet tune,
The tree waved in disappointment,
And the waters rose in anger.
But no matter what,
There is nothing that can be done,
Except to keep moving,
To make life a little more interesting.
