A New Day A heart that's lost In depth of despair A heart so lost It's beyond repair Lost in the shadows Of darkest night Lost in sorrow And hate and fright Trying to emerge From the deepest hole Hoping and searching To find its soul A glimmer of light Slowly appears Is it able to rise Chase away the tears? The darkness so heavy The light so soft Can it save the heart That's gone aloft? Light shines brighter Dark drifts away Hope is emerging For a brand new day Cpalmer July 10, 2001 God is our inspiration; Words of the heart can be music to our ears |

Very nice write, Cindi. There is always hope, no matter how dark it seems. Remember that and you will be just fine. All writing comes |

Given what I am going through right now regarding matters of the heart, this poem really touches me. The lines "lost in sorrow...and hate and fright" perfectly describe the different feelings I am having.. sometimes all at once Your positive ending reminds me that although everything may seem "dark" now, I know that eventually things will get lighter. It's that belief that keeps me smiling. Thanks for putting it into words so well. - Jeff |
