Shades of Light and Shadows |

In shades of light and shadows buried to the eye unbelieved through these long cold tomorrows lays a waiting to be received ... something wished upon, something preyed When the air, once thick, shows clear my chest, once heaved, slowly hails in answering the age old fear, releasing my breath to wind ... something to build on, something fraid In shades of light and shadows these eyes, once tired now relieved of salted tears of sorrows which my emptied soul conceived ... something destined on, ... something prayed In shades of light and shadows can one only see a man made "In life's giving ... love is a gift, such worth living."

I was almost going to make a suggestion, and then I felt the play on words, and all is right with this poem. Well done, Sir. P.S. You can't imagine how much I appreciate the change of photo! |

something destined, ... something prayed In shades of light and shadows can one only see a man made There you go! Like finally seeing the forest through the trees. Good for you Craig!!! Your poem made my heart sing~ |
