'MY FINAL DESTINATION' (Survivor Challenge 8)

I sit alone… In a field of shattered dreams A hollow ground of unspoken grief Faltering by failed attempts at life Gripping the hard edges of time Like a razor’s violent edge Tunneling a weathered soul A silence of an ethereal blank stare Emotions shackled, bleeding and bruised Lightning crashes, obscuring my senses Alone in my silent storm A place where light can’t reach Drowning in deepest somber Frightful doubt of living Flame of hope, dying Head hung low, tears fall upon my wounds Maddened by the deep well of longing Unconscious reckoning within myself My lips become soundless Awakening… Celestial beams light the sky An emergence with the morning dawn One ray of light, stirring in my heart Birds singing in superlative song Out of nowhere, a pious figure Voice whispering, “I walk with you” I stand alone… With arms wide open Beckoning cries to the heavens Ground trembling beneath me Shouting in wistful glee To my God, my Father He hears my humble plea Recapturing the flame My heart is warming His love has set a prisoner free Delivered by the blood Flowing from the trees A colorful panorama of hope Setting my soul ablaze I want to touch the diamond sky Taste the air, breathe sweet life I have found safe harbor from the storm Crying a thousand oceans He wipes my tears dry Whispering words of comfort in the wind Dancing on a cloud on top of the world Reaching for the stars, He lifts me up I rest in the cradle of His peace Heaven, my final destination This was wrote for Survivor Challenge 8.
