No Longer Sleepwalking Through Life

No Longer Sleepwalking Through Life Sun rising, sent its ever enlightening rays soft as a child's sweet kiss, sharp as a razor knife, waking from decades of blinded and useless days message of Light cried, "Stop your sleepwalking through life" With newfound revelation, new spirit thus born felt was earth shattering, as waves of power came echoes then felled, mountains of saddest forlorn replacing emptiness and sorrow with His name. Sunset sent, were reddish gold rays of heart's content along with blessings, greater joys in newfound peace gone were dark, evil hours once so happily spent replaced by the gift of imprisoned heart's release As clear eyes saw, deep horrors once gladly embraced new spirit danced into halls of Hope's reprieve heart found sanctuary and old darkness replaced by life, love and a new world that no longer grieved. Midnight-moon, gave bright songs within radiant beams delivering Light that spoke of love glowing hours Nature spoke with splashes in crystal bubbling streams and cool winds soft swaying its high reaching towers Dreams arrive, repeating promise of life renewed casting images that soothe, while offering truest grace where once was blindness by evil so misconstrued now in sleep's rest, was seen, her smiling peaceful face. Robert J. Lindley, 7-28-2018 Rhyme, ( Truth And Divine Light That Giveth All )

Life renewed...Such a lovely and inspiring poem, Robert! A sincere feeling of positivity radiates from each and every line. Incidentally this morning I already read a poem by Connie in which she also refers to sleepwalking through days. May you have a nice and fruitful day, my friend. // paul
