In the midst of the lonely silence
It’s thoughts of you that sustain me
Though the darkness looms
It’s your light that guides
My singular trek
Through this world
As I contemplate the cold reality
Your presence warms
My chilling revelry
My bleak perspective
I see hope in your countenance
I see heaven in your smile
Your presence maintains me
Your existence my reason
To persevere against the
Endless onslaught of meaningless days
It’s your love that keeps me moving
When my reason falters
And my purpose escapes me
In the midst of my mundane
You are my Starburst
The essence of my hope
My answer to the pain
My reason for being
A shining beacon on a hill
Beckoning me forward in the darkness
Perseverance becomes my souls desire
As I look into your eyes
You are the promise that
The empty past
Can become a nightmare
That I can finally leave behind
And wake
To a future filled with love
And
You
