Inner Turmoil

A tug of war begins again
inside the gilded cage.
Laughter echoes in the wind,
salty tears cascade.

Lost within a clouded mind
all exits are obscured.
A heart that's void and trembling,
from all that's been endured.

The thick-set fog, it begins to part
better choices to be made.
All fear and isolation,
slowly begins to fade.

Strength grows inside each day
the heart beats full of love.
With thanks I welcome blessings,
sent from the Lord above.
