A life of darkness
Crying out in vain
For someone to help…
To ease my pain.

Drowning in tears
Hiding from fears
Never knowing when
To be whole again.

A candle in the darkness
It shows me the way
It chases away the shadows
And calls my name.

Just one light in the darkness
Just one path for me to take
A risk at stake
A transition to make.

"And if everyone lit just one little candle, what a bright world it would be." Nice thoughts. Follow the light.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Hope! One candle dispels the darkness!

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Beautiful, but sad. The key here is the hope I read in your last verse.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just one light in the darkness
Just one path for me to take
A risk at stake
A transition to make

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The light of hope will light the way. Keep searching, your heart will soon open to a new and brighter day.
Hugs,
Deb

A wonderfully dark piece. Speaks very strongly, and is written wonderfully. Don't lose sight of that light.

may true peace find you where you are.

Wow...an excellent read. BTW did you get the title from 'Candle on the Water'?
