arise (day 85)

darkness engulfed
the beauty of the light;
despairing its loss,
some abandoned hope,
others colluded with the night,
while a few held true
the beautiful remained,
deeply hidden from view
awaiting its time
to shine once again

thus the few were not startled
when its brilliance burst forth
their hearts remained open
to the love of the light.
