Shadows of Peace
Inside a tear a whole world rains...
The view is blurry but the image stains...
The sunlight is faded and far from sight...
A star behind the moon that still shines bright...
Weathering days into the shadows of peace...
Passing over epiphany and confusion that sure does tease...
Outside a tear a world is hidden...
Where sadness disappears and hearts are forgiven...

ReplyDeleteWelcome to the site, Michael! I love the way you describe the inside of the tear as a place that is passing away as you approach eternal life. My favorite lines were: Outside a tear a world is hidden...Where sadness disappears and hearts are forgiven...This is just how I imagine heaven to be. Excellent work, my friend. Love, Carolyn.
