Blossom

When a dark fog hovers and you struggle to see the light Dig down deep and push forward with might For you'd be surprised to understand and to know That in the darkness is where you'll find your glow With no explanation and no hesitation In our times of sorrow we're led to our best creations What starts as a lonely bud on a wilting branch Becomes something beautiful because of our departure into no man's land It can only be brought forth in those moments of despair For it feeds off the heartache we set into the air It begins to open to the call of our hearts And the signals sent out when we're falling apart It opens up slowly as it climbs higher into reality Bringing about its own light and giving us peace These blooms we create out of sheer necessity Are our souls way of surviving; of living through creativity So whether it's by the stroke of a brush or a word penned with heart Follow that bloom until you're out of the dark Climb high with the thorns and petals alike Until your skin glistens in the sun and your days are once again bright
