~Seals of the Soul~

Behind every blink of my eye till days end, night begins.

Shadows in my mind hold the scrolls of moments past.

Shadows cloaked in dark mists, lies and half truths.

Wandering lost in my mind, opening doors that I find.

Specters of my past waiting behind.

Faces faded in darkness, eyes burn white in truth.

Despairing for the faces I see and scrolls that hold truths.

Receiving each as they were told, sorrow swept my soul.

Times of life less spent, each held a dark intent.

Trembling soul, hands that shook, heart hidden away.

The heart whispered stay... You can not turn away...

Door opened offering a scroll from it's blood soaked hand.

Spoken low, the blood you see are from hearts that died.

Because to their heart they lied, and set their soul aside.

Blood dripped on to the floor from hearts that bled before.

Light and dark blurred then the specter disappeared.

Scroll falling to the floor drawing up sin that came before.

Blood stained scroll now in my hands damp and cold.

Heavy with every secret moment and every lie yet untold.

Taking sorrows weight to my heart finding wisdom's start.

Compassion grew from years of tears, sorrow's heavy heart.

Understanding now  turns regrets into lessons earned.

Forgiveness follows, love of self begins to become renewed.

Telling truths to my heart, where to start.

Knowing one thing is true I had to find forgiveness for myself.

Before I could truly forgive you. ~Duke Deltree~
