Light of Life

Darkness shares no empathy
towards grief and pain
Solace cannot be aroused
when suffering prevails

if only there was a torch
to carry some light, hope would fuse in
Darkness would fall ill and become terminal
onset of recovery and healing would hearten

This flame would illuminate a new path
Spirits would begin to console the mind
Misery would change into a positive outlook
light is vital to give a new meaning to life
