They sent me to these hallowing grounds,

Wishing me to find more

Than could easily be obtained,

To which task I suceeded-

Independently and with great ardor.

Then the times became disparate

And brought new lessons to be learned

Which I couldn't master alone:

Burdens to be bore,

Confrontation to be concealed,

And secrets to be secluded.

Then you materialize

In to my dark horizon.

And like a northern star,

You guided me to the place

Where

Calamity becomes calm,

Misery turns mild,

And happiness

Is a habit.

This was inspired by my two best friends, Laura and Savannah, who helped me through the darkest times of my life thus far.

Very inspirational. Great job with your word choice; I could really feel the emotion flow through this piece.
