Out of the Shadows

Unpredictable behaviors
Keep filling up my hours
The nights haunted my days
My existence loses its ways

There was only sadness to gain
When happiness turns into pain
Just imagine how it might feel
When all parts of life no more real

But somehow among the shades 
I found a light that never fades
A sudden illumination, a flare
Everyone has known it as a prayer

Its so easy to became marooned in our strange perspective. But I think every person has the power within them to go and find the courage to keep on going..

Poet Tacito Date: 7/9/2013 12:48:00 PM That's all it takes. A light to guide you out of the darkness and fulfill that hunger to be free & take hold of your identity again. This was a very touching piece. Login to Reply Poet Tacito Date: 7/9/2013 1:17:00 PM HA! Aww! Nothing stupid about that, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Shirley Candy Date: 7/9/2013 12:58:00 PM I've been guided many times by the light but it seems like I always fall in love to the shadow..so I sent another prayer and hoping that God wouldn't be too bored to answer :D #talkaboutstupidity
