In Darkness

"In Darkness"

When darkness calls upon your world reach for the light
candles are there to strongly flame and see
Let the beauty of white shadow you
for powers of the sea have opened once again

Look to no other than oneself to erase despair
and believe truthfully this can be
Raise your glass in toast as you start anew
the bright red ribbon is there to unfold

For all the weeds turn them into flowers
for any sadness reverse to joy
for all the pain say goodbye 
In darkness reach for the light

A beautiful and encouraging poem. It is in us, the power to change weeds into flowers, if we only believe we can. Nicely done Lisa.

Thank you once again Chris for such a wonderful review. I agree with your comment that we have the power and that we just need to believe.
