IT’s Only A Matter Of Time

The winds have raged like a spree of misguided bullets

The sun has given its biggest grin like it just won a lottery

The sands have reached their highest

And the day, its peak

Now the day is fading

The clock is ticking and it feels louder than normal

The sun is retiring to its bed

It’s getting all quiet and still, maybe too quiet

I hide in the darkness

Scared of staring into the night

My breathing can be heard in the silence

My heart beats like the sound of a death knell

My tender flesh shivers in the night’s cold

My fragile hands trembling like a volcano about erupting

My once sharp eyes are beginning to lose their spark

And my legs feel too weak to bear my weight

With my back to the ground

And my face to the sky

My eyes meet the stars in the sky

And I wonder how this can be

My heart races as I try to fathom;

How can for light to be so beautiful even in darkness?

It was then I realized that no matter how dark it gets

Light will always find its way through

With my eyes still fixed to the sky

And my heart lost in the desert of thoughts

Like a dream, I see the darkness start to disappear

I can feel my blood rushing yet again

It starts from little cracks of light

The stars have said their farewells

It is the opening ceremony of a new day

The sun stretches at the sight of a new dawn and folds its blanket

The cold and shivers are gone

The sun sends its greeting with a beautiful smile

Strength and vitality is restored

And Hope is become a reality

Though it looked so far and so small

It kept my eyes open

It kept me alive

It helped me find my way back through the darkness

Hope is that little star

It makes you see this;

No matter how dark it gets

Light will always overcome

It is only a matter of time

The darkness was never meant to stay

There is always hope

You just have to look up

It is only a matter of time.
