Rising Above Life's Tide

where there is darkness.... there too shall be light i stand amidst the tide's rise watching aphotic folds of night diminish beneath day's canvas in hues of crimson with tangerine splashes atop the restless waves thoughts lose themselves in the depths of churning sea as i walk along making footsteps of life's paths watching memories fade ....past behind me (inspired by a conversation with a friend)

Beautiful Sandy. Those steps that lead us away from a past where the darkness reigned to a future that is illumined brightly are often some of the most difficult to take but always the most rewarding. I loved this my friend, it felt so good to read.
