“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.”
