Thoughts For the Soul

How dark the night that sends the soul To depths of vain retreat And wallows in the thunder's roll Of past infringed defeat How light the breeze that lifts the soul When taken aught is cleansed No burden left to take its toll On hearts upon the mend How bright the day that lifts the heart Though clouds berail at will With kindnesses they're made to part And hushed forever still. deborah burch© 10/16/2006 3/27/2012
