Light in the Dark
A moment of magic in the dark of night
In profound blanknessI am woken by screaming silenceunderlined by a distant rumblemy eyes adjustI see the skythrough horizontal jail barsa lighter shade of dark No stars…the blurred growl makes senseheavy humidity presses meinto the sweaty bed linenthe open curtainsdo not move. Look there!At the top of the lattsa soft glowappears, disappears, appearsa tiny dot of lightbright, perfect, magical. An angel? A fairy?A star that's lost its way?A firefly playssoundless musicon lines of moonlightup and downhold the noteslide downbounce back up. A brilliant sparkof creative geniusentering my lifein a dark hour.
