Poetic Verses
Silver Lining
Amongst my trials as seen as failure,
a silver lining of past thorn
A faded flower becomes paler,
withered from whence it was born
and yet there is relief to capture,
from faith so frazzled and so worn,
a silver gift so filled with rapture;
a lesson given to adorn
A ship on which I was a sailor,
shipwrecked, from the sea was torn
Maiden voyage, deathly pallor,
leaving hope, then, all forlorn
Doomed upon its departure;
my conscience blared just like a horn
Upon the island lighthouse figure;
safety beckons from whereon
Alas, myself as my savior
in humanness, of which thee scorn
A life step which I'll always favor;
tragedy I'll ever mourn
Bitter knowledge, then, to measure
all the deeds that need forewarn,
from failing to the times to treasure,
making memories yet unborn
Amongst my trials as seen as failure,
a silver lining of past thorn
A faded flower becomes paler,
withered from whence it was born,
and yet there is relief to capture
from faith so frazzled and so worn,
a silver gift so filled with rapture;
a lesson given to adorn
