Soothing Light

Even in the hardest of times there is a soothing light a beacon of hope a glimmer of faith that things can be better A sparrow's song soulful and strong calls to the night that beauty is there even if not seen Take back your plight and pledge to behold If only in your heart a sliver of trust in the actions of man Inspired by a poem by the famous poet Arthur Vaso http://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/arms_of_an_angel_862403

Beauty is indeed in the eyes of the beholder, faith on the other hand is a choice. At the moment it looks to be a bad choice. I love the positive message. I'm just a wee bit pessimistic.
