Everyone’s Journey by Ambyr Strickland

My destiny, which I thought looked like a blooming field,

Was turning out to be more of a burning forest;

Where smoldering ashes and destruction are hailed,

And death of all is morbidly chorused:

.

Yet out of this “no-man’s-land” I call my destiny

Comes love, blooming as if it were weaponry
