The Return of the Light
It’s easy to forget our light
and to feel overwhelmed
By the darkness when it comes,
Like a thief in the night,
Robbing us of our joy,
our hope,
and at times all of our faith.
It’s easy to think that
It will always be this way…
that we will always be in darkness.
It’s easy to forget that
The return of the light
Is always guaranteed.
Darkness looms and lingers,
Pulling us down,
Weighing on our weary hearts and minds,
And just when we feel
That we cannot go on one more day,
Just when we feel most defeated,
Like all hope is lost,
We receive our reprieve.
We wake to see the morning sun,
Glistening through the trees,
The magical shimmering of her light
on the dew-soaked grass.
And the vibrance of
the clear blue sky reflects the
Renewed clarity of our minds.
The returning sun gifts us
with lightness,
Ease,
Joy,
Hope,
And a promise,
That just when the darkness
Feels like it might completely
overtake us
and consume us,
We will be reborn
Once again.
