Longfellows Gleam Of Sunshine Poem by Nick krakana

For those who know 
the battle within

And can still see a way clear

Longfellow tarries to hold the tide


Of a friend that is so dear


Does he speak of lofty things

Or is it of one who's died

This mix of thought stirs up in me


My own lovers tide


Were I once flew like the eagle

To his nest on high

But no it's higher still than that


Alas it must be of the other side


Back tracks of the heart it seems

Were once Longfellow did reside

His horse does play a vital role


As he scans the country side


The yesterdays came flooding back

A sunshine mist they must have shared

As they walked along life's way



God's greater hand did place in him
 this memory of the pen

Forever stirring up the heart 
to try love once again
