Flicker of Life

The wind through my hair. The warmth of the sun.
I can smell the flowers as they bloom. The colors around.
The music of nature. The summer breeze.
I feel alive. I shall no more freeze.
Does the darkness still live inside me. How do I know?
Will it come out. No!
I shall let the light burn so bright, the darkness will just have to go.
I choose to be happy. I choose to feel alive!
I choose to look only forward. No more into darkness shall I dive.

A spark of optimism. No longer diving into the darkness, instead you are merging more powerful and happy into the brightness. Once you let go of the darkness, everything feels better. The nice scent of flowers, wind through the hair, it all feels better when you choose happiness and life. Lovely and powerful poem!

Look what happens when the light shines through. It quells the darkness. This poem shows that there is light at the end of dark tunnels. Hang on to the tail of that flicker of optimism. It is worth the reward. Nicely penned Webster.
