Through Darkness

Through darkness comes help unexpected

Friendship unknown from secret places

Blind, wandering through an abyss of sorrow

Reaching in, staggered with concerned faces.

A life that is not alone

Is a mystery to me

The sounds of silence fill my world

I often wish, a dream, maybe.

To touch the things

I cannot have

Stolen, gone, not mine,

Taken in greed and insecurities.

In times of anger and my pain

Through the tears and stress

A test, the gift, a treasure that I see

One of joy, honesty and sincere happiness.

Handed to me, when in need

When it seems there’s no way through

Heroes of unrealised friendships

I thank you.
