A landscape as far as the mind could range
Devastated, black, void of color or life
He had walked for days without change
Through a world of conflict and strife

With tired steps he kept moving along
When he passed a large blackened stone
Inside a small crack something seemed to be wrong
Something that stopped him and jarred him to the bone

In the middle of that little crack
Grew a tiny bright yellow flower
A yellow light surrounded by black
An image of unimaginable power

It called out to him β€˜do not despair’
Even though it may look bleak
For if you open your heart and honestly care
you will always find what it is you seek
I dedicate this poem to everybody who is down on his luck, or depressed, or lost, or unhappy, or miserable. Remember, when the only way is up, it can only get better! With my heartfelt best wishes to you all, may you too find what it is that you seek!
