Wounded souls

Wounded souls

A Poem by Bruna Digregorio

I know the value 
of the cold light of reason
but the heart has its reasons
of which reason cannot know,
Is it Ego, a defiant show of strength?
It is the nature of man 
to confuse genius 
with insanity.
Every soul on Earth 
charts its own destiny, 
each decision tipping it 
toward the light 
or toward the darkness.
We are here 
to ferry wounded souls 
across the river of dread
until the point where 
hope is dimly visible.

An important message is written in this one...and well done I may add. (It is the nature of man to confuse genius with insanity.) How true. Love these lines. ~Sharon

Your'e very welcome
Sometime our decisions are clouded by our emotions, then reason steps out and insanity takes over.

Thank you for those wise words.

The words we say have the force of the emotions within us.
