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 was it 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.
