LIGHT THE NIGHT

Written by Simon and Hastywords

Falling inside raindrops made of glass

Wordless laments land and shatter

On silent sidewalks paying no mind

To the broken edges that they scatter

Unheard cries and oft ignored entreaties

Silence is all that is returned

Screaming out into the heartless void

Knowing all such pleas will be spurned

Landslides full of debris fill lengthy valleys

Without warning and without concern

Shouting headlong a battle cry in defeat

Everything crushed, nothing left to discern

Entombed in rubbled hopelessness so shattered

No longer seeing sunlight’s given hope

How can one so survive such brutal burial?

How can one in such drowning learn to cope?

Courage will grant strength and with that fortitude

To stand against the dark and make a fight

And though all but a spark from me is taken

This spark will burn enough to light the night.
