Tree line
Aug 9 2011

Through the woods
            An ocean beckons
A life as clean
        And free
As the waters
        That await
    Beyond the tree line
            Of this blackening forest

The light of promise
            Struggles through
Scarring branches
        Revealing
An indirect path
            To a place wherein
    The sun will
Never set

Some day
        Some how
                Somewhere
Beyond the trees
        Darkness and deceit
    Will no longer veil
This love
        born of fate
    And bound by perseverance
