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 βdo not despairβ 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!
