The Lighted Path

Within my heart there is a light,
a light unto my soul,
that through my cold and darkest nights
its presence keeps me whole.
I never knew this light could height
such comfort and such rest
until what nights when felt such freight
was still inside -- ‘Twas blessed:
‘Twas blessed to feel such presence there
and leisure in such Peace;
‘Twas blessed to scurry from despair
to find such warm release
come from my heart unto my soul
and shine what narrow way
can still surround were Love abounds
and Christ be found today.

God bless,
Lighthouse Bob

How wonderfully you've described the peace, Christ in our heart brings, amidst the world's disasters. I cannot comprehend how extremely difficult it must be to manage through life's disappointments without His constant comforting. Thanks for proding my thankfulness, Bob.

It's not just the incredible rythm or rhyme (i may have spelled them both wrong, I just woke up) of your words Bob, but also the love that shines through them.

I always feel good after reading you. Thank you.

I came looking for some of your poetry and I wasn't disappointed. I'm happy to see that you're still writing in here, Bob---your cadenced, metaphysical style is truly unique, and subtlety of your most powerful lines always rings with humility. I think you've got this poetry thing figured out.
