Inner Glow An inner glow comforts me A knowing in my mind There is only just a small chance Of exploring the depths of this joy That desperately seeks a release. To the wind I cast fragments The shells of old stale dreams My eyes bright and with a smile I watch them float away A smile of wonder as I sense The closeness of a friend One whom I trust in the sharing Of myself and the deeper me Accepting only what I can give Yet giving so much more Sharing thoughts of love and passion The longings of the heart The pain and sorrows these often bring To be borne the best we can This inner glow fills my soul I accept the tiny chance And begin to explore This perplexing joy. © 1990 Johnny Gregory
