Grief Has No Hold
Grief Has No Hold
I will not keep you behind an iron gate
But will unlock my soul to accept the beauty
Of the dawn and ascending road
Invisible as the path may be
I will feel my way through
With head held high and shoulders straight
For there is more light than shadow
Hope is more prevalent than fear
I will remember more songs than weeping
And the joy that comes after a long battle

Sighs
This is awesome here and I felt it as I read it, your emotions poured forth in every line. I like to swallow the words and lines as I break this up a tad bit if you don't mind
I will not keep you behind an iron gate
But will unlock my soul to accept the beauty
Of the dawn and ascending road
Invisible as the path may be
I will feel my way through
With head held high and shoulders straight
For there is more light than shadow
Hope is more prevalent than fear
I will remember more songs than weeping
And the joy that comes after a long battle
This is to me an expressive write of an image that comes to mind of suffering and glory all in the same meanings. I especially like this couplet.
For there is more light than shadow
Hope is more prevalent than fear
Blessings
