The Longest Night 2020


 The light shines in the darkness


In the darkness

when masks slip

and grief is allowed to surface

when the chill of loss and fear

burrow their way

into fragile

and vulnerable souls

rendering them

exposed and bereft

Light whispers:

Love lasts forever.


In the darkness

when memories taunt

instead of comfort

when regrets triumph

over achievements

when despair

is a persistent nudge

and loneliness

is all consuming

Light whispers:

Love lasts forever


In the darkness

when confidence wanes

and hope takes flight

and faith is questioned

when nothing seems to relieve

the sustained onslaught

of grim news

and thwarted plans

Light whispers: 

Love lasts forever


May the light of love

carry us through

the longest night 

sustaining our spirits

until we glimpse

a brave new dawn
