Trials

Trials of despair? Trials of hope?
Or maybe,
This is the trial of life.

After all the dust finally settling down,
I wanna be standing…
Standing at the top of the castle
Knowing that
I lived my life on my own terms.

I follow the rainbow
To reach my horizon
A new hope is always born
With the glow of the dawn.

I define it as a wordless struggle,
Which helps avoid worthless trouble.
A moment of silence is all we need,
To assess what to pay heed.

I am higher than the sky. I am deeper than the sea. I am an open book. Yet, my mysteries, you can’t see.
