Peace of mind by virtue of this Heart and Soul

As the mist rises from the water
I feel the right to rectify
All these feelings
All these emotions
As I look high up into the sky

Is there a rebirth coming?
This rejuvenated existence abasing gloom?
Winning the war within
By the strength of personal virtue
Climaxing wonder and awe
Upon dreamy visions of abating self terror

Awoken by beauty
Tranquil scenery all around
Thankful for my feet touching the ground
While this heart flies up to the clouds
Approving these angelic visions
As my own personal heaven welcomes me with open arms

Ah, such landscapes
This heart, soul and mind
Striving to stay within
The boundaries of an earnest paradise
To only go beyond the limits
When it can make a difference
To myself and others

I know there is never a happily ever after
And struggles are always there to make us humble
But knowing I can win each battle
Makes me a stronger person in the end

The greatness of life, The epitome of love
Is worth the fight
To stay afloat with these emotions
As I prepare to fly from this cocoon
Into the beauty of all things prospecting
In a peaceful prosperity

Struggles may come
Battles may still endure
But with each waking moment
I set sail with the knowledge
That I can overcome any self conflict

Creating a blueprint to paradise
No matter where I am it shall always be there
Deep inside everything that makes me free

This spirit endures this flesh
So this flesh shall embrace this spirit
Flowing with a gallant epiphany
To uncharted places
Always and forever to beyond
