Deborah Burch Poet Verse

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.
