Broken midnight halo
Hovering, serenely, over seaside city
Rain clouds dance and disperse
His footsteps keeping in time
With sweet bluesy melody in his head
Silent glimmers of moonlight
Illuminate beckoning shadows
Lone alleyway
Summer raindrops
Dance fondly on blades
Wet pavement
Gorious night time winds
Blow vacant breaths of calm
As a train’s whistle hums
In the far away distance
Crooked branches sway
As covenant shadows
Dance, crawl and mingle
Winding avenues beckon
He tries to sketch out
Rhyme and reason as moans
In the wind call his name
Looking for semblance of peace
Beneath the prey
The wait is over, he has found
Sweet merciful rescue
Inside this calming place
Blanketed skies offer safety
Coil of hopeless loneliness
Leaving his body, he’s
Pulled off the ultimate escape
History of his and her
Memory is now in the past
Sanctuary’s blissful rescue
Came for him today
He has discovered love of self
Every unkind worry has been
Erased, his silent cries, once
Unheard, speak his name
He’s been weaned from
The pull of devastation and lure
Of self-doubt, he’s surviving
On the rebirth of inner strength
He is strong enough to face the cause
Of the who, what and why
Flush of moonlight
Embraces his soul
He has paid the heavy price
Of holding tight to memories
Of so long ago and has learned
To let go of the unknown
Across the sea awaits
A world of promise
Night time is collapsing
A river of songs
Bleeding through
The mire
Currents thrashing
Against birth of dawn
Memories of yesterday
Vanished and gone
Once broken soul
Beautifully alive is now
Embraced by
Serene breezes
Rolling off the sea
Sound the alarm
Call out to the sea
Letting go of yesterday
Cause he is free and able
To love again
