It was an effort to wake today. pulling away from the grips of sleep. Darkness falls over my eyes with lasting blinks.
I light the candle to welcome the day. It’s fire brings light closer, yet the darkness still creeps through the early morn. Holding tight.
I turn to the pen. It’s weight and power to cast off the silent darkness. It hears me waking with welcome to the morning and the promise of the day to come.
I must write on, the candle’s warmth and light growing stronger.
The sun finds its way to cast light along with flame and pen.
A new day, the dark cast off once more.
