There was a time
when my tender , little mind
dreamed of the night and it's secrets
wondering what it might find
Life was filled with wonders
I felt a warm wind blow
I must explore the boundaries
Transcend the depth of winter's snow
But these days are gone now
blown away like the sands of time
still , I must avow
that they will never cease to be
The leaves have now fallen
and my sun is not so bright
i struggle to hold on
with all of my might
All is lost with nothing fulfilled
the anguish filling me
will it be to peaceful serenity
or to eternal agony
"Seize the day" I remember her say
Life will not always be the same way
and the flower that blooms today
will soon fade away
Finally there is no pain
and i see her again
gazing at the bright moon
she looks at me and smiles :
"The night is your destiny .. "
I look around myself and find
That , there in my sight ,
I see the same night
That I've always dreamed of ..
Mesmerically I ascend the stairs
and rid my soul of all the questions that it bears
because now is a time ..
where my old , aged mind
can finally witness the night and it's secrets
wondering what it will find ...

Ya man ..
Forcing the rhyme means that i corrupt the flow of the piece and force a rhyme into it that most of the time sounds cliche .. but this is a break of rhyme , which you will get used to when you read many poems .. anyway , thnx for the comment man , i really appreciated it

You did a wonderful job with the picture. For me this paints someone maturing with her depression, making small steps and finally being able to face things once not possible. Depression is an awful thing to live with, you gave it a graceful face. Thank you for entering the contest, good luck.
