Within Me

Within my soul, there deep inside me
There is a place that no one can see
Where once the night lived ever on
Where the despair made life feel wrong
Suddenly I can feel the sun within me
I can see the wonder of trusts’ beauty

Within my heart, there is a secret spot
Where love still dwelt even I’d forgot
I thought love had left me far behind
I didn’t think any other love I’d find
But strangely there is now a gentle heat
And I can feel my heart start to beat

Within my spirit, in the essence of me
I now have some hope that love will be
The night has given way to the dawn
Its misty light means it’s not foresworn
Somehow I can see the shining light
I can feel the future might be bright

Marsha



Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same
Robert Browning

Where do you find such hope??? Wonderfully written.
