Description
I sit in a tower made of my own darkness.
Chained by links forged by missed opportunities.
An ocean of my own tears pounds against the rocks that support my tower.
A small dim light, barely noticable, now casts a ghostly glow where once it shined as a bright beacon.
Clouds drift low on the horizon obscuring my vision, and my rescue.
One star shines brightly in the sky, as a small sun should, keeping me from throwing myself to the rocks below.
If I lean out and reach towards the star I can almost remember the feel of the sun on my face and hear quiet laughter driting in on the starlight.

The Creator puts us all here for a reason, sometimes it takes a lifetime to realize that reason. Life is the experience of the journey filled with happiness, pain, love, hate. It is better to experience the journey no matter how painful than not to experience at all. Not being judgemental, justy speaking from experience. The Creator has given us a path to walk, to walk it is a gift to be cherished to share with those on the next path. Feel the sun again:)

"One star shines brightly in the sky," -- follow that star. Excellent piece.
