Take away the darkness from my soul <br />Let my inner self see light <br />Remove the shades of dull within <br />Make all my colours bright <br /> <br />Don’t leave the gloomy side behind <br />It’s been there for a while <br />Help me handle happiness <br />See things which make me smile <br /> <br />Extract the morbid memories <br />They pull my heartstrings tight <br />Implant a seed of joyful tunes <br />To hear both day and night <br /> <br />Melt the icy coldness <br />Like torrents let it flow <br />Leave warmth that I can handle <br />To help when cold winds blow <br /> <br />Remove the indecision’s <br />Let choices made be bold <br />These gifts would be my treasure <br />Worth more to me than gold <br /> <br /> <br />© 2008 David Threadgold <br />Rambling Riddles
