The words ringing in his ears

Trying to leave the memories behind
Around each new bend

Hope Begins In The Dark
...Hope begins at night
When the lights are out
While you lay in bed
In the dark
And try to fall asleep.

And you want to grab a not...

Safe at home,
it was an ordinary day.
I was on PoetrySoup,
