Trouble laden
I challenged the night
Free my thoughts
As well I might.
Through shadow mist
My nomadic mind
Sought reprieve
Pain left behind.
No light of lamp
Nor glow of dawn
Beset my path
As I trod on.
On ebony cowled bridge
As strength did fade
Echoes of life
Near me bade.
Thoughts once stone
Rendered by mist
Silence broken
Now tender kissed.
From the shadows
Velvet glow
Serene vision
Arose to show.
A smile
Beacon of hope
A smile
Promise of tomorrow
A smile
Your smile!
