A Gentler Path

Shielded by dark clouds
  from suspicious sun's glare
She slipped out the door
  Took him up on his dare

To find a gentler path
  a rose amidst thorns
To turn her life around
  To wake up every morn

To the voice of birds singing
  to a world at peace
No more screams ringing
  from Pain a surcease

He awoke, she was gone 
  lightning bolts rent his dawn

Arturo, thank you for your courage (apparently) in liking this one. (I liked it too when I wrote it). Best wishes, Gershon
