Oct 10TH 1989
As I began to feel the emptiness,
Of the void that was left behind.
I searched so deep within myself,
But only shadows did I find!
Looking for A spark of light,
A small glimmer of hope!
So I may improve My life,
Instead of barely cope!
I know the light is in there,
It just wont surface overnight!
Because you cannot see A shadow,
Without THE BENEFIT OF LIGHT!
Just as A blind man has faith,
To feel the warm sunrise!
I can feel the light that shines,
Through the darkness, that covers my eyes!
I know I must continue to try,
To remove what blocks the light!
It's not as hopeless as it once did seem,
Because hope is coming in sight!
So if you see me chasing shadows,
Remember one thing of me!
I am not running after lost illusions,
But searching for the light to see!
