Soft Light
Gentle Glow
memories float like feathers
embers flicker into flames
we dig, searching for treasures
to make ourselves a name
lanterns protect the spark
helping us to find our way
a rare, luminous arc
illuminating the shade
and it's light falls, like forgiveness
tranquil and as soft as a whisper
the healing comes as a process
reviving life from the ember
until the past finds its place
in our hearts, warm and tender
leaving a glow on each face
feeding on what's left of the tinder
then, the ashes blow free
wafting up into forever
riding the temperate breeze
bringing the pieces together

Do You have a Support Network?
Life is harder when you’re on your own. Human beings are social creatures, and we usually feel better when we have support from a strong social network around us. For most people, it’s our families that hold us together like glue.

Very uplifting.
Good job and if I read it right, we should all have a chance to feel this way at least once in a lifetime.
