POEM: NO PERMANENT SCARS

NO PERMANENT SCARS
By Sister Siebra Muhammad

Shadows of the past fall behind me
Tossed aside on the road less traveled
Before me is the path to my future
Footsteps line my dreams unraveled

In the distance I see what I have lost
Growing darker with the fading sun
The moon calls the stars to join him
For every new light, one wish undone

Past the sky I look toward the heavens
To God this one question I ask
If what I wanted is no longer possible
My future will you please unmask

This is something that I can not answer
It can only be answered inside of you
Past choices will effect your journey
And the pain you put someone else through

Don't give up, stay strong and have faith
Your purpose I'll promise you'll find
The key is to let go of yesterday
Look forward and never behind

I keep walking, careful not to turn
As the sun once again starts to rise
Unclear of tomorrow or the future
But with a faith that is newly energized
