Light of Hope

just a poem, inspired by a great sense of hope that was given to me by a friend who came and shone through the darkness

I was hidden in a shroud

it consisted of shadows.

The shadows of despair,

of loneliness, and of

sorrow.

I was afraid to let go of 

it completely, as a measure 

of protection for myself.

Then... then God

shone a brilliant 

light into my life, in the

form of the friend

that I needed, so that I

could keep pushing on.

I was on the verge of ending

it... ALL of it, with that final act.

I shall not let that light fade

and fall to the shadows, for I

have had more than enough of 

those shadows... they hid me well

for a time, when I thought I was all 

alone. But then I found a kindred soul,

one that I latched onto like a lifesaver.

Because I was afloat in a sea of despair,

and I was helpless to do anything

but wait, and wait some more

for someone... ANYONE to throw

me the rope and pull me out, out

onto the safety of the vessel.

Someone finally tossed me that Lifesaver, 

and pulled me aboard. shining the

Light of Hope into my life once again.

They in a single, simple act, have brought 

the very Hope and Faith I had lost...

back into my life, and for that, I thank

both them, and God. For without them

and the Father... I would have lost

everything that kept me who I was to

the despair and finally given in...

Author's Note

I dedicate this poem to a friend who came to me, whether by God's will or some other power, I do not know, I personally would like to believe that it was God that sent this friend in my time of need. That friends name is Stacey. Thank God for watching out for me in my time of greatest need, when I was on the verge of ending it all
