Burn Away The ShacklesA Poem by Sad PenguinA poem for a friendFire blazes among the bleak Burning away the shackles A whisper... A gaze... One step closer To navigating the maze Invigorating realism into darkened minds Bringing inner struggles to the surface Healing in kind You've taken the "broken" Fed them with hope Gave them a new home Tools to help them cope Serenity in the distance The flames die down Flowers and butterflies grow where life was once brown Inner peace Breeds outer peace So we sit in a circle waiting for you to teach What once felt lost Is now within reach Another step Realizing life isn't so bleak Further guide us as the colors fill in Forgiving our mistakes Compassionate as always It helps to make us grin again As we move forward We remember the lessons Whatever our feelings were in the beginning You've changed our impression Fire burning inside it represents you well Thank you for caring Removing us from hell © 2012 Sad Penguin |
