bitter sweet

it came to an end so suddenly
sadness rained down onto me
dark grey clouds form above
as i waited for thunder to come
just then they broke to show the sun
the weighted blanket of troubles undone
light that manifest within
tomorrow is sure to come again
hard-learned lessons sought and taught
filling my soul - a crossroad of thought
today i left my world behind
new practices have been assigned
one step forward day by day
in each moment i choose to stay
