My heart burning bright
Even in sorrows sight
I do not regret my darkest days
they strengthened me in so many ways
Memories do surface from time to time
but fear not for me, it does not crush my mind
These days my memories serve as inspiration
like a writing poetry-incantation
Though be it a multitude of past pains
I feel a deep sense of gratitude for the strength it made me gain
And I know that you also will find this true
once you see your darkness through
We are all weak and frailed,
capable to slide off track, to derail
If you try to push all sorrow away
without dealing with it, it will stay
forever with you, eating you whole
from deep inside your very soul
The bravest thing you can do
Is to face your pain, because that will heal you
Fee
I always enjoy the positive as opposed to the negative which seems to be all around us these days.
P.S. I have a Hallmark poetry collection book which is full of great poets of the past and the relative present.
Not one of your best poems, but certainly one that you are grateful for.
Is that a ghost in your photograph, or just you, taking it? ;-)
