Ode to the Light
by Sophia Manubay
It was the first year of my bitter days
She was there with her radiance and kindness beaming off of her
The darkness had found the light!
Miseries of life’s past had been dimmed by the bright light that was her spirit
The lacerations of hatred were becoming less common
And being healed by her nurturing soul
The day came where the light had to stay and the darkness had to migrate away once again
The darkness turned grey, as it wasn’t much of darkness anymore
Even if the darkness was daunting inside
The light left a piece of her in the darkness
Hopefully one day, the piece will be reunited
Along with the darkness with the light
Read, listen, share, create, and be on watch.
