Faye Gibson Poet Rhyme

Keola - Rhyme

Quote by Vere X. Campbell

Keola – Rhyme

I know people who exist in darkness,
NO persuasion altering illusions,
Not ONE spark EVER pricking the shadows;
their sight IMPAIRED by inky conclusions;
THEIR draperies are ever tightly drawn;
opaque lenses distorting weak EYESIGHT
BY always LOOKING ON the negative,
THE lovely morning viewed as black of night.
I know others facing difficulties,
With expectations of a future, BRIGHT.
They choose the best, the joyful SIDE, of life,
Advancing forward, facing toward the light.

Andrea Dietrich March 30, 2022 at 4:02 PM This is very well written , Faye. I am kind of in the middle. I have some horrible problems with chronic pain that keep trying to deal with while putting on a smile at school for my students, but honestly, it's so hard to do!! Faye Gibson March 30, 2022 at 4:45 PM Thanks, Andrea. I will be praying for you. You are a light here on PS for so many people.
