Hello

On a dark, cold night

When the last flame has lost its battle

Against the unforgiving rain

The sadistic wind

And died in a whisper

When the darkness

Hurts the eyes more than the brightest ray of light

So heavy in its blackness

So morbid in its finality

That’s when I seek you

I see you

Your smile

Piercing the opaque walls of the night

A glimmer of silver

A promise of gold

Your smile, twinkling like a jewel being uncovered

Lighting you up from within

Your light reaching me, touching me

My fire, I warm my hands and soul quickly

As your smile

Forms a familiar halo around me

And I no longer belong to the fierce, frigid night.
