A poem is my guide lamp out,
A light in darkest hour.
It nourishes my mind and heart;
It grows the Lotus flower.
When pain engulfs me, poems touch
The center of my soul,
Reminding me that after rain,
The sunshine makes me whole.

You bring the sunshine to the poem. Love this line: It grows the Lotus flower.
Thanks for sharing and being part of our community.
Rain and Sun walk hand and hand to bring life to all.
Nice sound especially the last two lines.
Poetry is, indeed, like the sunshine in our lives. It offers new insights if we listen well.
Poems do have a way of touching and healing.
Nice. I find it really hard to stick to the word count when rhyming. Kudos!
Beautifully penned, your opening line ‘A poem is my guide lamp out’ is true for so many xxx
