Do not be afraid

Brainstorming, hope you like it.

Rest your head, my child,

And devote yourself to your spiritual light.

For it is yet to be known of such greatness,

Such power I see scantily depicted in your eyes.

The soul is but a withering flower,

Let the mighty wind guide your path.

Do not be afraid, my child,

For all is gone, not a breath remains.

Nothing to harm you and nothing to warm you.

Yet, your eyes choose to see life,

Where life has never been sown,

In the abundance of hollowness,

Where nothing will ever grow.

You walk the path of desolation,

And let your spirit fill the vacancy,

And let your voice speak of liberty,

And you let your light guide your path,

And let your shadow stay in the past,

To salute you and then silently fade away.

There is only darkness behind you,

There is only light ahead.

Do not be afraid, my child,

I will keep you under my veil,

Until the day that I myself become a faded shadow,

That no longer sleeps in your memories.

Critique: (And your voice speak of liberty) speaks of liberty
(I will keep you under my vail) under my veil

Review: I like the passing wisdom down theme, shining the light of experience on to the future generations is noble. The positive message makes this inspirationally uplifting and a pleasure to read Bravo! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

Thank you for a great review, as always. Since english is not my mother tongue, grammar is a bit harder for me and doesn't come as naturally as it would for a native english speaker.
Funny, I didn't mean for this poem to be inspirational at all, but rather sad and melancholic, but I love the way it turned out and your interpretation. Thank you :)
