I stood in the beam

Hoped it would show me the way

You shot my searchlight

    Great one! I could definitely relate to it.... Of course Melancholy is my middle name lately as everyone knows... :/

    Sharp and loaded with meaning! That twist at the end hits like a bolt—short, intense, and leaves you thinking. Nicely done! Andrew ✨👏
