In the Realm of Silver Linings

In the Realm of Silver Linings In the realm of silver linings Dwells a battered and shattered soul, A soul battered by whips of folks At the highest helm of power And shattered by some spiteful friends Greedy to oust him from his seat, Take the winds away from his sails Or vilely stab him on the back. Dark clouds have shrouded his whole life, His daily living is a strife, Tomorrow has turned to a tale Of sorrow and a well of stress, Hopes for the future have flown away Like haze under rays of the sun And smiles have been buried alive Deep in the graveyard of the heart. Yet in the midst of the darkness A small stretch of silver linings Standing as a foil to the gloom Simmers like a bright beacon light, Beckoning the desperate soul To shore up his faith in the Lord, Whose wand of justice and fairness Knows no fault across time and space. In the grim darkness of the clouds The silver linings are tutors Of the real lessons of life The true purpose of existence The gateway to long lasting bliss And the highway to inner peace In search for a heavenly realm Where the light ever shines bright. The rays of the silver linings Now fondly fan the flame of faith Of the silently shattered soul In the supreme Divinity And have expanded his wisdom That wealth, power and position Are not the fount of happiness As is devotion to the Lord.
