My Heart Aches

My heart aches
my soul cries 
for a time
of clear innocence 
a time that time
has taken 
to the past 

No more to feel 
to bask
in rays of light
hearted laughs 

Sadness overwhelms 
hurt
seems to last 
til no more tears left 
to sob
crying for the now
distance past.

Hang On

Hang on
Gripping tight 
See the light 
Let go of negatives 
Bask in rays of beauty 
Light. 

Be blessed 
Be right
With all nature 
As you let go
Of
Controls you needn’t need 
Tonight.
