Soaring Blind
A clear path I see ahead
as I traverse life despite my dread
It comes and goes despite the hope
Built up to keep you from end of rope.
Stay true to yourself and focus good
Practice well and do all you should
And if the way should ever become grind
Resort to inner strength, while soaring blind.
A fog descends, it blocks my view
And as I still remember and think of you...
Memories fade... but come and go
How they hinder or help, is but for me to know.
Clear sailing. Clear skies. Clear roads ahead,
rarely occur when facing such dread.
Support from those who are exceptionally kind
Friendly guideposts in life when soaring blind.
