Beneath the Flames


       Beneath the Flames

Amidst the shadows of the trees,
My life is but one vessel in an open sea;
Dare I question my validity?
Or boldly walk with adversity.

But surely I must question
The degrees of my depression?
Life's beauty is sometimes masked,
Appearing upon some unknown path,
What little choice do I have but
To press on down this new path.

You speak to me of truth,
But where do I find it?
Beneath the eternal flames
Of the fires of pain,
Or is it found not far behind
Down our painstaking path,
That reveals to us our past,
Lived not so long ago,
That can show us the way
to much happier days....
