Conquering the Darkness

In dark of night
In shadows keep
How bright this light does shine
It casts a glow
That chase away
The troubled hearts confine

The sun is up
Its colors stretch
Until each hill of gold
And as it does
Bring warmth upon
The floor of forest cold

Its time, it leaves
Recedes behind
Horizons vast expanse
And though its gone
I yet have hope
So grabbed a fleeting chance

I know tonight
The shadows flee
They do not dare to start
For in this dark
I keep a drop
Of light inside my heart

Esdee Kay

I wrote this about love, but it goes for any situation in life.
When we are in the dark about something, its as if the shadows are closing in on us and its hard to feel good about the world because all we see is the darkness that surrounds us.
But there are ups and downs in life. Every time life is about to plunge us back into the darkness, we have the choice to seize that chance.
To grab a bit of light to take back with us. That way our world will never be completely black.
Internal light is so powerful only because nobody can take it away from us unless we let them.

The power is ours to wield if only we reach out and take it.

  1. This is so true! there's a saying "everything must come to an end" this goes for bad times and good times- we just have to remember to remember the good times through the bad times!
