Discovery

However we seem To consider the world, Broken, messy, haunting We deem. One thing remains. How terrible, Frightening, and Heartless creatures Humans can be, One thing is constant. The beauty of humans Discovering anew With each passing day Like never before. As the world Grows darker There remains A simmer of light; We call it hope. Something out there That will be found, Discovered, adored, Forever yearned for. Meeting new people Who will someday Love or hate you, Even just grow apart. Music you never knew Was the taste for your soul. Authors and poets You begin to succumb to. Your collection of favourites Adapting with each new discovery. Food you’d never tried And hobbies that light The spark in your life, The one the world dimmed When you were only ten. Dancing and dreaming And singing off-key, Laughing so hard You’ll snort milk out your nose. Chasing your dreams With nothing more Than genuine support; The kind you wish you had When life sent you through it. The world only darkens As the calendar moves, But there is beauty in humans As they find ways to cope. As the child in them Comes back to life, Happy to find You haven’t given up.
