sometimes looking
up at the sky from
midnight deep
wells of misunderstood
silence and sadness,
anger, hurt.
sometimes wondering
why now? why not?
why him? why her?
why what?
sometimes thinking
about futures
forgotten,
dreams left
at wayside stops
of lingering pain
and perseverance.
sometimes hoping
hurts too much.
sometimes faith-seeking
feels to hard
to carry on.
sometimes the darkness
is comforting
because it teaches us
why we yearn for light.
