Light of Love

By a restless wanderer

True friends are one of life's rarest treasures. I've moved around most of my life, always new places, new people. Most are just acquaintances, co-workers, buisness associates, people you pass on the street. You smile and nod, and go on with your life. But then, every rare once in a while, someone will see you. They will take your hand and carry you to a higher place where you throw away the masks you wear for the world and, for that wonderful moment, you are truly happy.

In my world of darkness,
only clouds I see.
Shadows of the past,
haze of things to be.
I carry what I can
and try to bring it through.
For fear that it should die,
I pass it on to you.
So long I've stayed alone,
I knew the light would fade.
But glory even here,
with you, the light has stayed...

    This is very motivational. Inspiration poured from the words like rain from clouds. Write on.

    My mind almost heard drums reading this. Powerful and deceptively deep. ~ mw
