Inspired by song “The Temple of the King” (Rainbow) Checked by www.howmanysyllables.com>syllable-counter ************************************************************** Light That Never Fades When the gloom of night shrouds my life And my journey is rife with strife, To my inner self I retreat To guide which way to trail my feet; When roads I tread are rough and tough And my strength is deemed not enough, To my inner self I resort Some support to me to afford; When the hill I climb is too steep And along slopes I have to creep, My inner self flits for rescue, To guide the path, I need pursue; When in life I reach a crossroad And burdened with a heavy load I know not on which way to slide, My inner self rests by my side; The inner self, a bacon light Day and night, shining silver bright, Signals the rightful goal to stalk, Along the seemly road to walk; The seat of peace, glowing with grace, It spreads its sparkle across space As the light of the King`s temple That like sunshine does resemble; Let`s trust this light that never fades, That no flame can blemish its shade, A pure reflection of the soul, An atom of the Divine Whole.

Great job with this one. I didn't know any of this singer's songs but people came up with good poems inspired by the lyrics of them.
