The Soul Tower

In the tower of my soul
A cloud of gloom descends
With no rays of light
To brighten its thoughts

A glimpse at its complexity
An elusive grin of hope -
Then greying gloom again
Wrapping the soul into a rope

Life goes from light to dark
Roaming in circles of emptiness
Until its purpose is lost, then
The soul tower turns to dust

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to PS, Meanwhile, I welcome you with God's love expressed in the Bible's John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.
