Spark To Flame

Let the voice within speak Its better to let it shriek Let the world sneak a peek At the beauty resting within A jewel shining underneath. Release your inner glow Let it shine so its known Don't let the flame be blown May it sprinkle like snow. Shadows may snicker Darkness might creep Knawing at your bones Stroking your spine to quiver. Hands of despair reach out Claws of pain try to cut Fangs of sorrow want to bite To rid the light that protects. Yet you keep your ground Looking through the veil Holding hope close to heart Faith embodies you. Your spark grows stronger Growing from an ember To a ferocious flame Scaring the shadows away. The spark that rests within That shard of determination Splinter of will power Flint of courage. Take that flint Keep striking it To keep that flame Burning bright within As long as there's spark There is always flame Dreams and courage That burn from within.
