Beacon of Hope

I saw you as a sign A diamond in the sky Brilliant and beaming A beacon of hope While I was entrenched in a battle below My days were worn like a badge of courage My thoughts reached out Like a baby's arms for their mother My steps careened between stillness and surrender A story unfolding visibly worn at the pages The spirit dances circular around the sun Lifting me up and planting me on a caravan of clouds. A channel of promise that pain could be relieved And so it was, A moment of incredible wonder Without the weakness That strapped me to the temporary world I lived in When wings fail When doors close I called out for mercy The only way out was in I entered and believed Keeping the energy saddled and direct Point me forever forward Turn my heart into gold
