BETWEEN DARKNESS AND LIGHT


 The sun shines bright, it then fades into the 
 Dark of night,

 Just as the heart and soul of a human crawls from 
 The light into dark.

 To hide from the pain and sorrow of a tragic day, 
 Hide inside and go away,

 Try and forget in ways that at the time seem fine 
 To a broken mind.

 Trauma is a most unpleasant visitor as it has no 
 Sympathy or kindness,

 Steals from one the smile and sometimes brings much 
 Fear, Forever scars.

 Falling, a deep hole in which a soul believes no escape,  
 Hurting the self appears the way,


 A path of destruction with no turning back, but wait!, 
 There is surely a chance.

 You found your way lost, between darkness and light, 
 You must fight to make it back,

 Something has happened that ripped you apart, not fair 
 But it was God's will.

 He knew you would fall, your test would be to find your 
 Way back from the darkness,

 You climbed out of that hole and with his hand you also 
 Found your way back to the light.

 Today holds a piece of yesterday, forever a thought, life  
 Does move ahead, Another day.
