 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Everything In-between





The doors have finally opened
Though the light that shone has since dimmed
Barricades now don't seem so difficult to cross
…There is nothing that I need to win.

Happiness was always my journey
So many had called me “naïve”
Life just seemed far to demanding
To think that happiness alone could succeed.

I searched through many a landscape
So I could wake one day and find
Something that felt it had meaning…
Instead of madmen just leading the blind.

I have searched but I found no meaning
It seems that faith is not mine to know
Though I have pondered the thought of salvation
But found nothing to help this faith grow.

Experience now gives me insight
And I understand what true happiness means
It is not so much about the journey…
But everything and all in-between.
