Dusk before Dawn

A stranger saw my tear drenched face today and promised that the light would shine again tomorrow reminding me that there are only 12 hours assigned to darkness. A co-worker held me in her arms daring me to praise God anyway; challenging me to only show the God in me. To trust you Lord and lean in close gathering my safety from the knowledge that you will never say goodbye. Dusk seemed so long today pushing dawn away, hanging over head like a potential storm cloud. My heart died a little more today as it slowly began to follow my mind. Let it go, it instructed if it's peace you seek. You've overstayed this visit eight years making a figure eight no beginning or end just a delusional set of circles. Seeking a verbal hug my Mom decided instead tough love closing with a whisper you've tried everything else see what letting go feels like. My gtalk friend living a lateral life shed light on the fact that we matter and if we get busy living our lives we'd only attract what's right. If we just believe that dusk can't keep hold of a broken heart before it is captured by dawns light and restored whole.
