A Spiritual Walk

"A Spiritual walk"

as i lay here tonight
i fight in my plight
blooming within the night
like a beautiful dance across the light
the universe within my sight
a mixture of both pain & gain
this is where life will remain
to add color to the future
the giver gave his name
to escape the knowledge that was plain
freedom is what we gained
but only to remember is what was asked
remember remember the past
to be thankful for what lasts
love in you, shall not pass
despite the fragile frame
and the hallow shame
you are what remains
t can help release you from these chains
and give you a purpose to smile when it rains

thunder sparks the soul
you just have to hear it roll
and with the sands of time and warmth called life
patience can cleanse the back of knifes

by day and by night
we are usually out of sight
fighting for whats right
or faithful in Gods sight
the kingdoms in the heart
this is the focus of our art
love is the footprints of our start......
