~The Truth~

Tree swaying, leaves rustling against each other,
as the breeze evades their home in complete silence.
The silhouette of the only evergreen tree
is as precise as the tip of a needle.
A ray of hope peirces through the
descending darkness of the deep, dull night.
A beautiful gradient of blue, purple and
pink, fills the endlessly empty sky.
Every petal is chanting my name
in hope, devotion and motivation.
The sadness drains out of my heart and everyone else's,
leaving a glimmering droplet of water behind.
What everyone searches is treasure,
their one and only desire.
But, in reality we seek happiness,
waiting for it to rise like the sun.
