Darkness turned gray

Do you feel there is nothing

to yearn for, wish

and think about?

Has all hope left you?

And you’re just waiting for a chance,

a smile

or just one hug

to show

that you still matter?

***

Belong and dare to stand

on your own for a while.

Not every dream comes true,

not every wish

is worth giving it all.

Stay and remember

that you don’t lose out

just by waiting.

***

Whenever hope is hidden

don’t go out searching

trying to dig it out.

Take heart and learn to cherish

the little things.

They spring to life each day

and teach you

no matter how upset you get

that there are rays of sunshine

round the next corner.

***

The light will surely find you

at the right time.

Don’t doubt in darkness

when you feel

your goals

will not take flight.

Despair and not goodwill

is speaking

when all those thoughts

take you by storm.

***

Running won’t help you ponder

while light is on its way.

Learning to see the hues

and all the shades of gray

will give you better clues

for when it’s close to coming

and saving dreams.

***

For nothing is forgotten

if you keep sharing

emotions, goals

and everything that moves you.

That’s how the world becomes

and changes

and stays old

and new

and yours.

***

In dreams,

in life

you only get

as far as hope allows you.

And darkness has no chance

to wipe out

your desires.
