A Ray of Light

one moment the sun loses a spark ~ and from that fireball life grows dark

 one moment steadily turns to night ~ blackness gnaws eating away light 

    one moment life holds plenty ~ despair manifests draining til empty 

then one moment a baby smiles with fire in her eyes ~ and all’s worthwhile
