Spark in the Darkness

“Spark In the Darkness"

Color drains from her eyes

As the light fades.

This place is her home

Darkness everlasting.

She didn't want to come

But at last she's here.

The light carried is swept away,

In this palace of despair.

The demons greet her with smiles,

For their Queen has returned.

The darkness is her crown

Her fear is her throne.

They veil her from the light

From all that is good.”

“This is her home

Where she's understood.

The light is gone from her

Not allowed in these halls.

They embrace their ruler

Not letting her leave.

A flicker of light,

A glimmer of hope.

It taunts her from her seat

And enchants with its beauty.

She runs down the hall,

Demons wailing behind her.

She must find her light,

For it found her.

She discards her crown as she runs.

Hope fills her as she reaches the doors.

She breaks into the daylight

Unable to see from the darkness.

She stumbles in the sun,

Fear consumes as she turns.

A pair of hands grasp her shoulders,

"Don't be afraid. Welcome back."

He helps her hold her light close

Not letting it fade.

His gentle words an anchor,

Helping her stay in both worlds.”
