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 By David Kavanagh

Delighted to meet you Komal, and thank you for the Fave, sometimes I string monokus together into a poem, this one worked out nicely, but others, well I’d rather forget, cheers David
