Your inner light still shines

Chris Hall54 Comments

The image shows face of a woman. It is painted with luminous glitter paint and the features are highlighted with bright yellow lines, ending in a question mark on the forehead.

Imprisoned inside a fragile façade

yet your inner light still glimmers

hope leaks out from every pore

and your smile still shines from deep within.

 

Confined within the corporeal

plagued by withering pain

yet the force that the fans your flame

is fuelled by a sharper source.

 

Your spark will not be extinguished

your spirit will not be crushed

not yet, while there’s hope

for another, better day.

  21. WOW! — “Your spark will not be extinguished

    your spirit will not be crushed

    not yet, while there’s hope

    for another, better day.”

    Those words struck my heart heavily.

    What a powerful piece. Thank you so much for sharing it! ❤
