A New Life

They gazed into the sky of Fallen rain Dripping coldness past,memories of old pain The drops fall of damp life on the ground Clouds a-whorl dark skies sheltering in Fair hearts defying the stab's of their fate's intent Rise from thy streets of lonely no more Light shines from the dark to bring all that's good and just Is love just a sliver of sun? Through the dark grey mist revealing paradise ? Their withered gait now straightening with pride They cross like angels cross futures tide Belief in life renewed and only found Echo's a cadence of sounds Songs to the beat of their hearts and into the sun Seeking life and love's new start - by Brian Otoole
