The Journey

This glow . This radiant shine . This golden exterior . Beneath beats the heart of a man . Never eroding overtime but strengthening with grace  . Forged by fires of truth , wisdom on this fiery journey . The weary , broken hearted lay in my path . Their pain unheard , eyes to blind to see or care . But in my lonely heart I gather empathy . In my pain I know compassion . In my sorrow I can hear , see what is unseen by most to those who know it not . But in my fiery journey along my way I heal a heart broken by time , pain . What I alone lack they attain in great depth . Thus my heart is mended through helping another through pain .
