Not Lost

When a scream betrays secrets
and demons swallow the night
never doubt the love of life
still shines forever in your heart
Be braver
brave enough to drag
bold fragments of your soul
through ruin of despair
to find another
then another breath
as effortless as time
Embrace cold certainty
straddling the hour
until warmth of expectation
bestows forgiveness
so that peace may once more flourish
feeding hope
to nourish dawn's new light
