As points of light a glimmer trapped in sparkling beads of dew Fall slowly down my window they create a clearer view Revealing my reflection in a frozen gaze of time These teardrops of a new day trickling down along with mine This melted condensation which now weeps onto my sill Epitomize the heartache of a life so unfulfilled A life sans all tomorrows but for memories of pain A past so omnipresent there is no chance of escape I’ve wallowed in the shadows of this sorrow evermore I’ve hid from every truth that I no longer can ignore I’m looking for an answer I’m not sure I want to hear To see what is invisible is vision that I fear The sun is gently creeping through this hazy twist of lines Sparkling through the trails that these drips have left behind These sunbeams now upon me I can rid this somber plight The darkness of dejection now awash in brilliant light Bringing forth a new beginning filled with strength and hope A brightly lit commencement giving me the will to cope The chance of opportunity we so often are denied Is sometimes right before us if we open up our eyes So long my friend of darkness I have no more tears to cry The sun is slowly rising and on this day, so will I Freedom of expression is our, write. |

I'm just so blown away by your pen. I have to agree with ARH - I love the way it unfolded into strength, happiness, determination. "Revealing my reflection in a frozen gaze of time These teardrops of a new day trickling down along with mine" I know this pain. "The chance of opportunity we so often are denied Is sometimes right before us if we open up our eyes" I'm learning to live this. Beautious, as always, Richy! |

The graphics, the poetry...what better way to take a break, hey? This is lovely, m'friend. Just remember, at least one Sun always shines down brightly on you, every day! |

Oh, I love this for a hundred million happy reasons - one being that it has that wonderful sense of warmth and re-awakening after one has cried all the tenseness out of one's body and the healing starts by exhausting one into relaxation and feeling the sunshine. - Owl |
