My faith guarantees me
And eventual silver lining.
Yet sometimes I don't believe faith.
Sometimes I can't see a better way.
There are times when it rains
Though just a drizzle, a light sprinkle,
Yet each drop wears away- eroding my heart,
My soul, ever so slowly.
So slow it's almost beyond notice.
Still I recognize.

Skies clear up, rain stops
Now I'm looking for my
Beacon of hope in the clouds.
There, up high
Amongst the stars
Deep into space
As far
As my perception will allow,
I search.

Still I can't make out
Where this “silver lining” lies.
Maybe faith has lied.
Tears run down my face, I wipe
Them away, ashamed to cry. (I'm a male, am I allowed to?)
No (and I don't want to honestly)

So I shut my eyes to conceal tears
And to find consolation, security for all my fears.
Behind my eyelids I find nothing, but black pitch.
But then suddenly I could have swore I saw this
Glimmer of white light.
This warmth through my whole being.
I realized suddenly
Hope was what I saw- felt.
It lingered for a moment, and then retreated.
I felt it melt…

It returned to the dark.
Became one with it,
Became it.​
