I've searched along
a path, that I
have learned to walk alone.

At first I felt
the cold around,
and wouldn't let it in.

I opened up,
and only found
the pain I hid inside.

It took some time
to realize,
it was nothing I could hide.

The path I led
began to turn,
the colors slowly turned.

The browns began
to wither, and
the reds and purples bloomed.

The beauty I
was searching for,
has now appeared in sight.

I only have to
look inside,
and wander towards the light.

tulip-
very nice write.  you speak truth here.
we must first find peace within ourselves
before we can find it anywhere else.

Beautiful thoughts here, Tulip...

hard sometimes to see that inner light - but I believe it always there.
