Owls and Orchids

There is no demon hiding in the dark,

nothing to hold me to this lonely place,

there are only my thoughts, my hopes, my dreams,

shattered beyond redemption  by the bite of reality.

Yet what more can life ask from a heart so broken?

It simply asks for faith – faith that the morning’s light will dispel the dark,

destroy the fear, the loss of hope.

That by some miracle unknown to man,

all doubt will be overcome  and dreams resurrected.

That with the dawning of a new day the darkness is banished,

not only from the face of the earth but from the caverns of our minds, our hearts, our souls.

Is this too much to ask?

Only if you wish to surrender.

If your wish is  to carry on, then all things are possible,

even the mending of broken dreams and promises.

Fort such is the promise of the dawn,

that all beings are granted another chance to create their dreams,

Strength and will power rise to fight with a new dawning,

and banish the demons lurking in the darkness,

Only of our minds.

May all our dawnings banish the dark,  and hope remain eternal.
