Justice of Destiny

In the hour of trial
lingering between fear and hopes
I find myself not alone
for the challenge is how we cope

I thought of violent thunder
mounting in the lieu of my dreams
I found my expectations
were ill placed with thoughtless means.

I am always full of wonder
yet my heart is consumed by fear
how do I reach beyond myself
while I'm stirring ancient tears

I walk the only paths I know
so why do I constantly judge myself
will I put my soul on trial
whenever my fears are felt

then what would I call justice
living with this estranged heart
that has been so very merciless
convicting from the start

or could I look beyond
could I seek the stars
perhaps destiny would free me
from my world of prison bars.

but what if those same stars
did know my heart too well
both hopes and fears would scream
if destiny did prevail
