Look For the Light

Walked out this morning And couldn’t help but see The sky blackest of black Everything seemed lifeless Yet years down the road This lesson would be priceless Before now it had seemed This country was frightless There is no sign of the sun Not even a ray of light So many just stood there Mesmerized by the sight Vast numbers of people Thought the moment Had come once at last Where this world disappears Into one mighty blast Draining life All would be dead Even whether we put up a fight Many predicted This time would come Yet many failed to notice The beauty of the sun People had forgotten What life was about, Now panic stricken They uncontrollably shout Words of meaning Far below none Yet they still not notice The power of the sun In the deepest The darkest The lowest of times One must believe The sun WILL shine For in the darkest of moments There is light somewhere Just so long as your emotions Don’t run into despair There is no such existence Of this so called future called fate For your future is only That which you make So if you have fallen Into a lightless inferno Just use sheer will power The light is destined to show Michael Harris 2/6/06 A tribute to al Americans that died on 9-11, an all of our armed forces of today and all throughout our countries Prestigious history.
