Towards the Light

Peaks and (valleys) of an AA Poem may be read Whole or Peaks only and (valleys) only As my fingers trace your silhouette mind (Yesterday showers fell upon a gentle face) And the strength returns straight from your love’s heart (Today they enter the world of a different pace,) Those your shoulders that held me safe I find (When one you take on a roller coaster ride) No more to dwell in life’s shadowy part (On to heaven then deep in despair nowhere to hide.) Everyday a stepping stone across strife (As darkness descends upon each avenue) Each tender touch and words spoken ring out (Eyes adjust as guiding lamps of one’s sinew,) Eyes that see the same yet different life (Before the mind searches vigorously for reasons) Your love grows in me in you there’s no doubt (And veils of your face I see like the changing seasons.) To take the wrong road the right path a choice (Some days one of down hearted total dejection) Alone there was only one direction (Some days an offer of heavens welcoming crutch) When in dispute one opinion one voice (Some days with in the abyss I fall into reflection) You did instigate life’s resurrection (Some days from out of the darkness your hand I touch.) In pursuit of those the headiest days Found an alternative with wondrous ways. © Harry J Horsman 2015

You are genius, Harry. Wish I could just find someone to do this one for me. I have no clue which poems of my own to intermingle this way. It will strain my brain to even try to figure it out. I hope this scores high. You were superb!

Intermingling these two poems together was no easy job; must also have been time consuming, Harry! I'm truly impressed. In my eyes it is already a winner. #7 // paul
