Even Then

Let your soul shine. Acrostic

Even when day plunges into gloominess. When

cloudless skies turn black as starless nights. When

laughter’s just a dot in dim reflection,

impossible to grasp through blinding plight.

Please know, the dark can never best your soul’s might. Even as the

shadows steal your light.

Even then.
