Light Flashes
Light flashes in the dark, tiny sprites of hope
My dark thoughts pause, gloom is getting brighter
Fading beneath the small glimmers of sunshine
Reaching hands of friendship taking hold of me
Light flashes in the dark, lightening bugs of dreams
Wisps of smoky dullness being blown away with warmth
Off in the distance I see the darkness slide against the sides
Heart is easier, mind clearer, sleep is a friend of mine
Light flashes in the dark, air bright again after the rain
Fear no longer lives here, terror has lost it’s reign
A few kind words were needed, given, taken and returned
Virtual is still reality, in this world of mine
Light flashes in the dark, sparks flying bigger each day
Pain lessens, memories made of caring friends, smiles from the heart
Shadows grow smaller, not completely gone,
Light flashes in the dark, stepping stones to the sun
