After a Year

The Earth was here

when your first step

In darkness

I only rejection met

my world stood still

as my life in chaos

Earth completed her course

in our loudest silence

the Sun now as far

its moon now as dark

You were gone

gravities brought you back

I went lost

on a journey still progress

without you guidance

only wood pieces after shipwreck

thank God I found

by lighthouses ready built

Now many things have changed

will I end bitterness harbourage?

will you start showing mercy?

allow my forgiveness?

I went wrong

please let me make right

give me a chance

to forget your promises

Now your leave is here

again

When will you ever face me?

I might cry and wonder

another year
