Shining Through

Dark corner Closed eyes Scared to open and see what you'll find Never ending days Walking through a daze Keep getting kicked back down Surprised when you hear a sound After so long Could it be? You open your eyes to see A light shining through Is it true? All this time So much has passed you by Hope surges Encourages You feel your strength return Nothing else holds your concern Grasping for the light The most beautiful sight That light shining through It's coming to you.

Yes enjoyed our trip, it was super hot. If you have a chance read my Girl Rising Poem, I think you will appreciate it. I also wrote a sequel called boy sitting. I hope all is well with you, have a great day.

Yes a very hopeful piece. Sometimes it can feel like we are living in an endless winter but spring and summer do come and yes sunshine once again shines upon us and hope rises once again.

I can relate to that. When I first started writing and then showing my friends them, one of the complaints was that they were too depressing. First I just brushed it off and then realized they were right... now my goal is to just write whatever comes to mind, and do it in the best way I can.

HA! Mines too. My friend was like, "Whoa Caleah..you're getting dark." But hey, I write for myself so..yeah. Good for you!

Reminds me of sleeping outside on the hammock and waking up to that "light shining through". Seems to me a poem about good thoughts and encouragements coming your way... love the positive vibes in this one :)
