On Faith

When darkness surrounds your skies
Or a veil draws over your eyes
It could be you’ll realise
There’s something more

When you’re caught in an endless night
Where all hope seems out of sight
Wishing with all your might
There’s something more

When the tide of time has crept
Past the promises unkept
Perhaps you will accept
There’s something more

When you reach life’s last demand
Seeking that helping hand
Maybe you’ll understand

There’s something more.

Simple and yet so powerful. As the old saying goes, when you hit rock bottom that's when we find ourselves. It's been a long time, my friend ... how have you been?

I think someone recently had a Faith contest. I wish older poems like yours here could be used in these contests! So regarding the comment you made on my super long poem: (as a poster I once had said on it) above the picture of a lion on a throne: It's MY opinion and it's very very true. heehee. And I am not even a Leo!

Hum, I wish we all understood... It gets better than this, I do believe there is something more. Richard, it's been a long time. However, I remember you... always Linda
