Courage

Courage draws us along the unknown avenues,
Deep into a darkness that rains within our hearts
Though we become lost, we never part from each other
Across abandoned railroad tracks cold and silent
Overgrown paths ensnare our bodies in this threshold
Of night that rains upon us, so my heart quivers
Now descending further, deeper into the forest
Only the moonlight draws a likely path for now
Later drawing perpetual warmth from the fire
Cool intentions drown us into serenity; in these moments
As all the world is vanquished like a dream
Soundless, breathtaking it seems in this reality.
Now all remains are crystal clear elements
A fire that further draws us into peace,
Strangers passing by as silhouettes.
Caught by moonlight, trying to escape the clouds
As beforehand gathering elements in darkness
For the moment disconnected from humanity
Recounting old tales from the past,
Thus leaving me deep in a tranquil sedation
Courage again drew us along avenues of unknown.
