a free fervent feel kindled by an unseen light~ friend that makes us heal a fragile thread spun holds the unknown, whispers hope~ trust what not yet won. sunlight through the clouds, a sudden warmth upon the face~ winds dispel the shrouds. doubt's chill breeze may blow, testing the weave, stretching out~ still, the string does glow night stollers alone guided by a distant glow~ belief in unknown seeds beneath the soil unseen growth, a patient wait~ life shines through one`s toil when all seems vanished when the path is lost to sigh~ guiding faith cherished a gentle whisper, across the vast and silent space~ trust turning crisper. more than simple verse a living, breathing essence~ holds the universe.
