Within the glowing embers <br />of a fire going to sleep, <br />I see a future of happiness <br />born out of sadness <br />that had lingered too long. <br />The myriad tentacles of sadness <br />that tried to strangle happiness <br />are beginning to fall away <br />allowing the sun to rise <br />on a brand new life and day. <br />Yesterdays fears are disappearing, <br />replaced with future hope. <br />The wounds and scars of defeat <br />are all beginning to heal, <br />and all this I see in the glowing embers <br />of a fire going to sleep. <br /> <br />10 August 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/glowing-embers/
