A Tale of Tears and a Glimmer of Light
The heart is locked,
the mind is shut,
and hope hidden
behind those doors
where dark took hold
and the birds don’t sing.
I grew tired of heavy tears,
I am weary.
At the edges of heaven
is where I take a rest,
a moment, a pause,
at the end of a quest.
I can see; I can see
a glimpse of hope!
I want for me; I want for me
that glimmer of light!
I open the doors of dark,
I enter the beams of light
I am the song of the birds,
the morning birds of bright.

Hang on to it B .. I sincerely hope you prove this old fella wrong .. N
If I can prove you wrong, every word of this poem is worth of my optimism & hope. But if you’re right,-god forbid- we better to pull out the lifesavers. Or learn how to swim. Yes, let’s wait a bit, Nev
