Glimmer of Hope
Surrounded by darkness,
I don’t care enough to notice
when it gets blacker still.
But once a single, momentary
glimmer of hope
teases me from a distance,
there is nothing I want more.
The darkness was okay
when I knew I could never
return to the light of before.
But that single, momentary
glimmer of hope
invites the possibility of light
coming to me instead.
Where I once sat silent in the dark,
I now run laughing
for another flash of light.
Figures appear around me;
some try to turn me back
into my dark corner of the universe,
but others help me push them away
and run with me on my lightening journey.
My now will always carry
a shadow of my old darkness,
but I don’t have to stay in darkness
when there is
a glimmer of hope to look to.
