If all you knew was loss
And all you saw was black

If all you heard were cries
Cries for lost love
Cries for lost dreams

How would you go on?
How would you survive?

In bleak despair where do you find the light
The spark?

Where is your beacon,
To find your way back
To find your way home?

Wow....I havent been on for several months. i just came back through to read some of my work. I dont even remember writing this. I read it and it feels like it was someone elses work. My life is so different now, I think so differently. Reading this just gragged me back to that time, it gave me a head rush!

Beautiful.  To know the answer to the question is key to moving through the dark moments in life.  May you always find your light to illuminate the path home.
