The Flickering Light
scattered sand
is not just broken rocks, but the
ink blots
that destroy a perfect piece of white paper,
displaying the mind torn open
by sadness and desperation.
the flickering light that
casts shadows in a darkened
place is not just
a burning wax candle,
but proof
that within despair,
joy is thriving.
