Glorified.

Paul Louis Villani

Glorified.

This was written at a time when I needed to be saved.
Sometimes someone else sees what you need much clearer than you do.
I use the word glorified as a way of expressing my gratitude.

Glorified. belongs to the following groups:

All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical

Once upon a time I had a feeling that was mine,
Then I shared it with a friend and it was all that I could send.
Over hills and far away I pass the age of changing ways,
And the grass will grow across the fields that I will pass along the way.

This journey that I take with all the blindness that it fakes,
And all the dreams that will prevail across the seas that I will sail.
Holding back the fears that promised so much yesterday,
With auburn hair and golden lips she took all my cares away.

In the darkness you might find in my heart the guiding light.
There’s nothing left that’s holding me so I guess I’ll always be…

Glorified.

    Great piece Paul.

    It’s hard sometimes to see the emotion someone else has below the surface.
    Other times it’s so hard to see your own. I personally am overjoyed that you were saved and so I could meet a photographer and person such as yourself.
