Silver Linings

I have walked through fire Lived in darkness Felt a lifetime of pain Yet I still breathe Hope, it carries me Love, it releases me Time, it heals me Life, it gives new breath in me I've taken the breath of colds brisk air Felt the heat of hells death stare Yet still I breathe To the tune of my souls immortality You can't beat me You can't hurt me You can't disarm the desires that move me You can't destroy me You can't consume me Nor persecute away the fires of love that motivate me I am me Yet still In all the darkness of the vast array of valleys I've seen In light In love My soul will always breathe Even better than that though Is the beauty I choose to see Truly the silver lining Of the world in pain Standing right before me 10-5-2017
