Turning Life’s Page
Living on hidden island
Searching through another day
Overwhelming heartache
Waiting, filled with emptiness
Whispering thoughts, every night
Hearing silence once again
Tears drowning in sorrow
Waiting for new direction
Making one more decision
Holding torch, ready to light
Prepared to burn last bridge
Waiting to strike final match
Listening again, a voice
Growing stronger each minute
Conscience stirs from abyss
Waiting, no longer needed
Turning life’s page, new chapter
Leaving island at long last
Light leads to happiness
Revealing brilliant sunrise
