Night Light

Balloon tears raining havoc
While doubts cascade freely
Paddling through droplets of glass
Her life force drifts through endless passages

White lights reach out to embrace the waves 
Shield her from perpetual anguish
Worry only dims the path bestowed
Faith exhibits a lantern lit

Ronald A. Williams Date: 2/18/2018 7:20:00 AM Hi Carol. I have to admit. The poem is a little too abstract for me. I could only understand parts of it. The parts that I could understand were very good. The first Stanza, I could not connect the Balloon, white doubts, padding through the droplets and Her life force. Please advise me. Thanks, Ronald.
