Shield

~ Frank Solanki

Grant me my redemption
I cannot grant it myself
Who is mine?
Who is not?
Upon this lonely path I fought
Voices that haunt
Echoes that want
A change
And still I continue to fight
Bringing all the darkness to light
Like a flaming torch
In a dark hollow
Where do these ways lead?
In a mine? Or in a field?
With an axe? Or a shield?
With a shooting star passing by
Listen to my prayers
Say that you are there
Where I always thought you were
Where you rightly belong
And here I will be
Content as ever
Like a dead man
Got more than what I asked for
Now I want no more

    1. There’s one subscription tab on my site. You just have to put your e-mail address there. I hope it works. By the way, this too was marked as spam. Sorry if I got to you a little late

  2. I have been surfing online greater than 3 hours as of late, but I never discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours.
    It is beautiful value enough for me. Personally, if all web
    owners and bloggers made just right content as you did, the
    web will likely be a lot more helpful than ever before.
