I’m a sinner’s soul with a rebel’s stride
Yet a loving heart beats deep inside
On my horizon, the shadows grow tall
Heavy with clouds before raindrops fall
I’m a sin-stained saint, reaching for light
Losing the trail in the middle of flight
Soft downpour where the spirit is torn
Washing the place where dreams are born
Just human, shadow and light, a heart of gold
Chasing the stories the wind has told
When love’s blown away, it rains in the soul of mine
And I wait for the prism of mercy to shine








Chère E.,
A lovely write again!
But what other comment can you expect from the NL fanclub?
We can offer a discount on the yearly membership fee? Specially for everyone who comments favorably…
And they will come around. Just wait and see.
The day after tomorrow i’ll be back to read it again.
Warm regards, Gus

Lovely writing Elke.
You don’t post often but when you do I take a breath and smile.🙏
Smiling back at you with gratitude, dear Peter!
Excellent crafting. The meter and rhymes are tight! It flows so well, and gives the reader a boost to their mood immediately. Encouraging words are always golden. This is.
And your kind comments have the ability to bath grey everyday’s life in golden sunshine, dear Styx! xxx

Dear E,
Fab piece. For me, this screams the perfect angel. Heaven sent with a lot of hell. I so enjoyed the imagery and the rhyming meter was great. I’m envious of this form since I can’t do it without sounding like mother goose. Poetry with wings. Well done. H 🌷
I’m blown away by your kind comment, dear Honoria! 1001 times thank you for your appreciative words! You made my day ! 💐
Dark edges softened by a tender core—your grit and heart live in the same pulse.
Even in the storm, the poem shines, stubborn and kind, like a soul learning to walk straight.
