When darkness fills the void within my breast
Where once my heart has been, I softly weep.
When pain and sorrow prey upon my rest,
Tormenting me, I'm taken from my sleep.
And when the dark'ning clouds enshroud my world,
I grope for shelter on my quaking knees
As through the pelting rain I'm tossed and hurled,
A casualty of life's catastrophes.
Yet through the dismal shadows shines a light,
The tinkling sounds of glass and merriment.
Lou's gentle voice and Peter's smile incite
My hopes to rise, my joy exuberant.
A sanctuary in a world that's stark ~
That's Callahan's, my candle in the dark.
Author's Note:
I wanted to name each and everyone of you for what you've come to mean to me. But...
there are just so many lines to a sonnet. I've gathered the kind words, the smiles,
the letters even the lurks, and placed them right here in my heart.
Jewels, for you have enriched my life in so many ways.. (*slapping Peter's hand*..
"oh no you don't ..they're mine.")
All the way to the other side of the world, Lou stretches out his hand and coaxes me
to come "home".. Peter, in all his sternness, taps my shoulder and gives
me a "whupping" but don't be alarmed. He's really quite fond of me, you
know. Just don't tell him I said so. And many more who've shared with me their
thoughts.. who speak to me and "read" me with their hearts. I humbly thank
you!
