The center point from which you gather yourself in the reason to expand with.

The dreams we carry sometimes are too dark
They allure to a foreboding of an evil
They seem to carry us downwards to depressions
Of hell holes of self pity
Which is a cancer that steals our thoughts
Into whirlwinds of intertwining doubts
Down we go for the count

But a vision appears to light up into a calm
Your hair seems to fly free
Yet the air is so still
That its fragrance overwhelms you
In the cleanliness of your soul
Breathing in the hope
That will elevate you into challenges

For the valley which had been too dark to see
From your perch on top of your solitude
Had drawn you into negative magnetism
Which no paths to envision
And the death of your senses
Had left you vulnerable
To falling out of reason

But the dawning of light brings in a peek of hope
To unblind your mind of the selfish doubt
As you see the world developing before your eyes
Into all levels of sight and mind
You gain the depth to expand on
To create paths to walk on
To take you places that only your mind
Can take a fancy to

So let the rainbow develop into the colors
Of the mind developing the waterfalls of free spirits
That will cleans this world of the sinners
Who only see in the dark
For with your words they will be
Set on there own journeys
To create their own paths
To the inner beauty we all are blessed with

Wisdom and serenity reach out a hand in your words giving steady reassurance to the one whose soul is slipping into the darkness. *gosh* I love the feel of this poem. I try to not dream or write too much darkness for then I find myself being pulled into it. Therefore, much of my work is love and fantasy...keeps hope and light burning within me. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

(sigh) To first understand the cdircumstances and feel the compassion from pain helps us to emerge from the darkness and to mortgage new hope and paint rainbows with our fingertips to the world in search for peace and solace! (smiles) Sooooooo wonderful, sweet friend, your words always bring light to these pages! We all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lester, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
