Hope shines so brightly through a stormy sea, as if the clouds part to allow the sun to brush my face, my skin and fill me, bursting from my heart to my spirit, and finally into my mind.
Hope overflows in all that is said, in actions, in deeds. It colors my world... reflecting itself in the world around me, so I am blinded by its beauty and oblivious to the swirling seas that surround me.
But only for a time, only for a season....
Life has a way of closing the clouds, taking the hope and turning it to rain and darkness, taking beauty and light away, leaving me alone in the stormy seas of life... reminding me of how transient emotion can be... reminding me that I am only a breath away from darkness and pain.
The hope harboured in my soul fights to hold onto a semblence of light... not to be consumed by the gloomy overcast that life vales my eyes with..
Great light leaves your soul open to great darkness... great pleasure to pain....
But still I hold the hope inside me, pray for the warmth of the sun, and stand alone in the swirling sea and face the uncertain future...
The sweet surrender of life... giving freely your life, because sometimes that is all there is left to give....
Does your spirit quicken mine... speed my pulse, flush my skin, make me burn with life??
Life flowing from me to you, from you to me, each breath becoming spirit anew..... a combined spirit...
OR
Does your spirit call to mine.. call me to the darkness leaving me without the breath of life, with a diminishing heart beat, in a darkness that knows no end??
Blood pulsing through my viens slowly growing colder with each beat...
Each beat coming slower than the last...

It is only in the dark that we find the light... the more inpenatrable the darkness, the brighter the light.
In death we find life, and in hate we find love...
Why does it take one extreme for us to see the other end of the spectrum?
One thing that I have learned above all else... if I am in the valley, I will stand on the summit... and if God smiles on me on that day, I will not stand alone, but with the friends of my heart and spirit...
In this life we are given innumerable gifts and talents....
where will we take them?

Wherever we want to, of course.
You should know, though, that hate isn't the opposite extreme of love... Indifference is.
Nice piece though. Have a happy day. ^_^
well put i think : )
