Its the flash of a smile
lost in the essence of a tumble
down main street district pubs
laughing out loud at the dust
singing old 80's songs
to the beat of the shoes
clapping in rythem of the mood
that shuffles us along our path.
One look ahead
and the forrest opens up
as the stars light the way
the moon trips blue
as your eyes find a light
configuration of time eternal
that you cast neither shadow
nor doubt as to their meaning.
And suttle distant words
that you use to push
boundries that flow from you
to protect your skin
your soul damaged but healing
you face challenges you
may have to change your  
tactics to save your heart.
Then slowly,with passions purpose
you follow that fleeting
memory of taste, touch, feel
take flight with hope
take hope and run
with your face to the wind
your arms open
you may just embrace this hope.

Oh this is such a great message!
Hope, fatih and love is the core of our existance.  
Sure, we adjust as we go, so long as we don't lose sight of what truly matters.

Glad I found this, it's quite uplifting and ummm, full of hope!  

Really nice writing, thanks~

"you may have to change your tactics to save your heart"

I loved this whole piece, but that line stuck out for some reason. Well done.
