Through storm darkened mists, down passages of time, Were borne empty arms, by cruel fate’s design. Wandering lost, my stone heart lay shrouded, With a future portrayed as dark and clouded. Strange indeed, the little twists life places, On unwary hearts, frozen in stasis. Limbo revoked, cast aside, is no more. When friendship is found as never before. See, inside this bond, held tight though not chained Self-worth is renewed, love of life is regained. No more winter’s touch, no more icy soul. For at last I’ve found, my true miracle. |

Christopher...I think the miracle was in yourself all along, you just had to realize it was there. I'm glad to be seeing these more positive posts as of late  |

You my friend deserve the best. When you thought you had nothing left inside to give, you still found the strength to give friendship. That is the miracle and it is in you. |

Isn't it wonderful when we find our miracles, and the various lessons that get us to the point we are at now...beautiful! |

I'm glad to see that you've found something as special as friendship in your life. You do know how to use your words dear Chris! Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

Hey, Chris, your poems are beginning to match that smiling face! It is easy to dwell on the fact that this is uplifting but it should be noticed also that these lines are very well thought out and put together. Nice work. |

I am so glad to see your spirit is cheering up! Great poem Chris! And the miracle is wonderful, they are a part of our everyday...we just need to stop and notice them! Glad you did buddy! <*\\\>< Where there is faith, there is love. Where there is love, there is peace. Where there is peace, there is GOD. Where there is GOD, there is no need. Hallmark |

Me thinks me likes the first line....it sets the mood/tone for the whole thing...gives it a mysterious haunting - dark feeling. Yeah, and then it's nice to see it take a turn for the brighter! Indeed, probably one of your more "thought out" poems I've read of late...of course, most all of yours are.

Christopher this is beautiful! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

Chris, this is really beautiful. Sometimes a miracle is just around the corner and we have no idea what's in store. Really gorgeous, this touched me. Thank you for this.  --Beth Howl at the stars, whisper when you're sleeping, I'll be there to hold you, I'll be there to stop the chills and all the weeping. |
