My Secret To Shining On

When a wall of black,

Built by the tormented

Part of my soul,

Stands in the way of

My piece of mind,

My train of thought

Becomes bits and pieces

Of twisted mental.

 

That search for inner faith

Can be like

Walking a round blindfolded,

That is when I try to remember

That God is by my side

Even though he cannot be seen either.

 

And when looking for hope

Becomes like walking around

In the dark without a flashlight

I remind myself

That the heart shines brighter

Than any beacon that could

Guide my ship ashore.

"That the heart shines brighter
Than any beacon that could
Guide my ship ashore."

Wow! Deep, quotable words right here! Very uplifting words indeed- even though we can't control Fate, we can control our feelings and ambitions.

What a cleverly contrived piece of writing, Dale.. yet not so clever the power of the words fail to touch one's emotions... and yes, ' the heart shines brighter than any beacon could..''

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so much classy lady.

[Ladysue]

[Corset]

Get the heck outta here lol, just kidding, you are a brave soul I might add, love this one...remembering to hold that light front and center is one of the hardest things for me to do.
I don't think it's suppose to be easy though :P

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

I never said it was that easy now, thank you for the compliment and support.

[Corset]
