ThePicture

As I look at the picture you sent me
I get lost in what my mind sees
For once my heart is at rest

What I see is empty and void
Which makes me a little annoyed
But at least my heart is at rest

On the horizon I see storm clouds
I love the lightning if the thunder is not too loud
The rain helps hide the pain and tears

The waters look like it will be a little rough
Which will make today a little tough
But that is ok of heartache I have no fears

In the solemn stillness of the night
Under vague shimmering of starlight
My mind will find peace my heart shall rest

As I hear the gentle lapping of the waves
Brightens even the darkest of my minds caves
Bringing to light the feeling that life is best

So as I once again turn and walk to the light
The darkness and fears take flight for at least one night
Though in the distance I can hear the familiar rumbles

Making me realize that as long as I live
I have to take what life chooses to give
Holding on to the hope that my life doesn�t crumble

But for now I look at the picture you sent me
I get lost in what my mind sees
For once my heart is at rest

I owe this to a seascape picture my daughter sent me
