A happy poem (in a way)

I see the sands flowing through my hands, as the sun slowly fades away.

I walk and see my footsteps behind me, they change day by day.




I watch the sun set, and the darkness rise.

As it does I look to the footprints under the star filled skies.




The water washes them from this place, they fade.

As it does I watch it's tides, and then into the waters I wade.




Times rough, times calm, I just keep going.

This pain an agony hardly showing.




I think I finally see my sanctuary,but then It's gone.

Washed away by the waves, but yet still I push on.




Again and again it happens, my escape from these waters is there then not.

I started this journey in an easy way, but now things are not as I thought.




It got only get harder as I tried.

But yet still not one tear did I cry.




For years that is how things were.

Though it's all now somewhat a blur.




Then I found it a place where I could confide.

A place where I was safe, didn't have to hide.




Not on land but still at sea,

With other drifting like me.




There are what I live for, why I go on.

When I thought it was over they were my dawn.




Now I watch the darkness go and welcome day.

For at least now it's here to stay.




For I have my friends around me here,

And will be protected as long as they are near.




So to you,thank you, and please don't leave,

For the darkness is gone, and it's hard to believe.




But it's all thanks to you.

I now found my reason anew.




To go on, live life,

No more darkness or strife.




So to my friends Whom I hold dear.

I thank you now and for an eternity's years.

Thank toy, an awesome saying, lol,. But seriously, this is a really good poem.

Yet another random saying. not quite up to par with myspace mages, but up there.

It sounds like your other poems, except Death is not named :p

Right. I had a long-winded argument about the actual sadness of this destroyed by couplet 14. Hrmph.

Anyway, it's an amazing poem and symbolism.

On an unrelated note, your sig is probably the best one here :p

Lol, thank you for the compliment, and I'll try to make an even haoppier poem later on, something that has no mention of anguish of any sort, though I fear it may tear me apart inside.

You can do it. The only way you can know true sarrow is if you have experienced happiness.

I have expierienced happiness, but it's a whole lot harder for me to express than said sorrow.
