Keep the Candle burning

by Ingrid   May 25, 2008


Be still now,
heart that lies within
this beloved poets chest

Battered and bruised,
seemingly beyond repair

You will recover
and regain your strength

Given time
you will once again
see the beauty
of the wildflowers
that grow along
the path you must follow

Blind eyes
cannot see the beauty,
that lies within
this heart so pure

Keep the candle burning
for true love awaits you,
my sweet friend

You don't have
to walk this road alone
your friends stand before you,
with hands outstretched

Written as a surprise birthday gift to my beloved friend Alfred aka The fallen Mod, who turned 40 this week
