Faint

Amidst the smog That wraps your city Clogging the view above the horizon Of skies beauty There is still one star left that you see And in your heart's ear it whisper: Amidst the intense smoke that hids the multitude Of other hope and light giving company I'm still here to light and guide you On your way Yet I may be so faint But the vision of your soul sees that this faint light is enough To lit extinguished hope to blaze again in your cold heart!

Faithful is the name, right? The warm heart is to be cherished no matter how foolish. Love, Dave
