Quest
A quest to find the light for you
(because you said you’re in the dark) --
there’s little else that I can do,
so maybe I can share a spark.
Encouragement through silly stuff
(a quest to find the light for you) --
I know it isn’t quite enough;
perhaps it still might help you through.
I hate to see you feeling blue,
so every beam I will collect.
A quest to find the light for you,
and share it next time we connect.
To find the joy among life’s flaws—
it’s been a challenge for me too.
I’m glad to have a greater cause:
A quest to find the light for you.

I have often found that when I have tried to find the light for someone else I get blamed because it wasn't the light they were seeking.
I hope in your case it will be different.
Thoughtful write.

Yes, that could be a pitfall... this is more a matter of seeking the light for myself, so that I might have enough to share with those who want it. I haven't felt so inclined for a while.
Thanks for stopping by,

Dear K,
No greater gift than a friend trying to help a friend despite their own challenges. To me, it’s the purest form of love. Risky? For sure. But what isn’t? 🤷🏻♀️ Great formatting. Very singable. Truly enjoyed this piece. H🌷

Dear H,
I'm glad you like it! I'm getting tired of feeling like a wet blanket. It can take a little effort to focus on the good things, and I find I'm more motivated if I think someone else might benefit too. In the end it's probably just a selfish way of making myself feel good... 🤷♀️
Thanks,
❤️k

Lovely words and sentiment K,
Maybe I can share a spark... if only everybody adopted this philosophy!!
Also, sometimes it is enough to merely show the other person that you care, which you have succeeded hugely in doing.

I do love to share! But sometimes I let it get too heavy. I'm determined to notice & share the good stuff...
Thank you!

The balladic style stanzas pair very well with the heartfelt sentiment going on, and the repeating lines add a kind of villanelle flavor to the write.
A very pleasant read with poetic virtuosity at full power!

I only just discovered the quatern form this month and I'm finding it quite fun. The constraints actually make it quite easy to write when I'm pressed for time. Thanks so much for reading, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

It's difficult to show the light, when in reality people hide the truth. I have always put my trust and faith in my family. There is no light with many are deceitful. People tend to go astray, because it is more convenient. There are no Swiss Army Knives or Knights on Unicorns on the media. People usually take the easy way out. That is a huge mistake. I avoid the maddening crowd because the bleachers are filling up with them.

I tend to look for the light in nature rather than in the crowds. Thanks for dropping by to read and comment!

You are a songwriter, K. Great rhythm and rhyming, tender message.
Really beautifully done.

Really lovely feeling and the rhyme lends it something sweetly intimate.

It's a wonderful feeling when you can connect with someone and be there for them (and vice versa) in times of need.
Nicely done.
