Our lives will have periods of darkness,and these are definitely overwhelming.It is sometimes hard, or even impossible, to navigate them.
But there is a light in the dark, a spirit of hope that burns like a steady candle flame that never dies. We keep it burning with an attitude of gratitude, setting realistic expectations, and limiting exposure to negativity.
Enjoy these cinquains.
Candle
A light that burns
Eternally in a
Room enveloped in darkness
Blackness
Candle
Hope that springs forth
In pitch black darkness of
Unwantedness that pulls strongly
Resists
Candle
Light inspires
With thanks that strengthens hearts
A mind that is real and a hope
of YES.
