A Heart Can See the Sunshine

She walks in darkness
Tiptoes on glass
Touches the fire
Does it all with such class

She swims against the current
Flies against the wind
Rides against the tide
Focused to no end

Cherishing every rainbow
Making jewels of every star
Bathing in the light from every crevice
An optimist by far

She follows her heart
Making music where there’s none
Scarring herself along the way
Quickly healing them one by one

A butterfly full of hope
No matter how hard the flight
Seeing through the storm clouds
A sun that’s still shining bright

Mistakes she knows not any
They’re all experiences of some kind
A heart will always stay happy
With the help of a healing mind

What a beautiful verse of warmth.  You have penned one that will forever shine.  Not sure who she is but she has evidently touched you deeply and you honor her well.  Could easily be for you as WE see you.

Mark: You're so sweet! Thanks so much for that. I'm glad you liked it.  

Sunshine:  Actually I had no clue it would draw you here but now come to think of it..not such a bad idea. Maybe I'll make my next title.."Some Of Your Names Are Not In My Poem". Hmmmmmm..I wonder how many I can get in with that one??..LOL  
Glad you liked it. Thanks!

Kat

So true, a healing mind can make wonders...
Loved this, I`m feeling kinda sad right now so this gave me some positive thoughts...
Thanx

Ask me how to live your life, and this to you I´ll say: make your choises true and wise, so that when tomorrow will arise, you´ll smile at yesterday...

A ray is the heat of you
My feet are running to you
My temperature is rising
My heart is realizing

It beats a purrfect beat
Always landing on my feet
When your rays reach my skin
I'm running a race to win

I'm running to your sun
A place of smiles and fun
I love to feel your rays
A warmth to heat my cold days
