On the shores of time <br />Lies the remains of my past. <br />Things that lingered on my mind <br />Things that made me happy <br />Things that made me sad <br />Things that made me. <br />But in the end those things <br />Things which were relinguished. <br />Things that built the current <br />Flowing beneath my surface. <br />Things which have transformed <br />My darkness into light. <br />A light that shines upon the shores <br />Glistening upon the shallow <br />And the deep waters <br />Yet a beaconing light <br />To help show others their way. <br />A way that they may become a light <br />Standing by the shore.<br /><br />Cecelia Weir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/light-by-the-shore/
