Guiding Light

Through those times of madness When I've no more energy to fight When I've that feeling of emptiness You bring me up to the hieist height When ever I'm drowning in loneliness And every day is just black and white When ever I'm in time's of sadness You make every day shine so bright But you always belie din happiness Every one feeing happy, feeling all right Was that perhaps your thoughtfulness A visionary who always had great insight But you always had such an awareness The memory of you here day and night Like when ever I'm in time's of darkness And I can't see, you are my guiding light I dont know where I was going with this write the words guiding light Took from a poem I wrote called someone back in 2004 This was also inspierd by an old song we we sang at school Trying to keep pattern as did with others such as WONDERER ,KALIDOSCOPE,SORROW,ECT this poem guiding light is a tribute to a friend I lost tragicly back in september 1993 someone like no other she was GUIDING LIGHT iM REFERING TO HER SPIRIT THAT LVES ON AND GETS ME THROUGH THE DAY ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,written by myself DAVID SCOTT JUNE JULY 2012 note did tweek a little switching words verses round but still same just thought in better context,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

This is a sweet with lots of sensitivity. Such a special poem to express the loss of a friend. 'guiding light' is a great metaphor for remembering someone who had deep affect on your life... :)
