The moon rised today, the vast sunset,
light died, darkness rose,
Silver settled, I did not,
I-- merely tried to, but my life was debted,
not to the devil,
but to god.

My lifes eternal,
for this I'm taught,
it's not external,
As I once thought.

It's internal,
my soul, my rock,
as the moon rised,
I did not,
this time I fell,
to its'last shot,
not to darkness,
but to heaven,
as I was once taught.

The author's comments:
I have had a tough life, maybe not as tough as others, but I've pulled through, I look back at some of the things I've written in the past, in my personal journal from treatment, and randomly noticed that I wrote about god in there, so this piece is inspired by it, this piece may not be the best of my work, but It's my heart and soul speaking, and this is how I feel, and I hope it spreads meaning to you guys as well.
