STAINED GLASS

we all face disappointments

how we handle them, depends

some people face their ghosts alone

while others lean on friends

to guide them through the valleys

seeking shelter from the storm

traversing through the forests

where the angry locusts swarm

i lack religion, formal

but in spirit, i am strong

my soul is a cathedral

many aisles to walk along

i'm sturdy as the steeple

on the rooftop formed from birch

and hopeful as the last stained glass

in some abandoned church

please honor my position

for i do not wish to share

the angst that throbs within me

with a pressure, hard to bear

for i'm a firm believer

that the darkness, soon, will pass

and i'll be shining brightly

as that brilliant pane of glass

Really liked the last line. I could see the pane shining.
