Glimmer

Here's a hopeful piece, because I feel hopeful today.

Thoughts so dark, nights so dim

Feeling lost without a win

 

One and twenty on the season

A hero accused of high treason

 

Darkness lurks, waiting to strike

Like a child falling off of a bike

 

But an impact is made, no doubt

Not enough to scream and shout

 

The tendrils extend a long ways out

A story for later to tell them about

 

About how one person cared enough

By being even-handed, fair but tough

 

And the person who gave the time

Shouldn't feel like a ball of slime

 

But be the top pole on the power cell

Even though life can be a living hell

 

And the person smiles, just a glimmer

Enough to make their soul shimmer

 

Don't give up, life ain't hell on wheels

Even if your hope heard tires squeal

 

Press on against the wind and the fire

You need to be the high voltage wire

 

In the end, you are making the choice

So don't end up chasing the nasty voice
