Look For the Light
Walked out this morning
And couldn’t help but see
The sky blackest of black
Everything seemed lifeless
Yet years down the road
This lesson would be priceless
Before now it had seemed
This country was frightless
There is no sign of the sun
Not even a ray of light
So many just stood there
Mesmerized by the sight
Vast numbers of people
Thought the moment
Had come once at last
Where this world disappears
Into one mighty blast
Draining life
All would be dead
Even whether we put up a fight
Many predicted
This time would come
Yet many failed to notice
The beauty of the sun
People had forgotten
What life was about,
Now panic stricken
They uncontrollably shout
Words of meaning
Far below none
Yet they still not notice
The power of the sun
In the deepest
The darkest
The lowest of times
One must believe
The sun WILL shine
For in the darkest of moments
There is light somewhere
Just so long as your emotions
Don’t run into despair
There is no such existence
Of this so called future called fate
For your future is only
That which you make
So if you have fallen
Into a lightless inferno
Just use sheer will power
The light is destined to show
Michael Harris 2/6/06
