Dan Kearley Poet Rhyme

Destiny's Ecstasy-Collab

You may find destiny's ecstasy, that you searched for all your days 
Cut free from your bonds of sorrow,and sadness burnt up in a blaze 
For when the ashes and fog arise,happiness reveals its ways 
The familiar face in the mirror, will be happy with your gaze 

To stay on course in life you must keep the right frame of mind 
Think not only of yourself but of the others you may find 
Look at yourself as a stranger that you've met for the very first time 
Notice the sadness,and sorrow that you keep hidden away inside 

Hard enough as it is, you've got to just pull yourself upright 
For some circumstances in daily life, are hard to see in light 
Sometimes you have to look into a mirror,and focus with all your might 
To see what you may find hidden within,takes so much more than sight



A beautiful collab with
Laura Breidenthal & Danny K

Sandra Adams November 25, 2012 at 1:15 PM i think we all look at our reflections and see things we don't like, but rarely ever see ourselves as if through someone else's eyes...love the advice in this we;; drafted poem!
