The way the stars still shine bright

even though there is darkness

makes me think that there is a light

that will always break in

the cracks of gloom.

The way the eagles still seem to soar the sky

even though the sky is clouded with grey and dullness

makes me think that there is still

could be something beautiful

out of something so grim.

The way people still form a smile

even though they are going through

the worst heartbreak you could imagine

makes me think that happiness can be formed

from something so awful.

The way the rippling tides still decide to kiss the shore

each day even though there is nothing magnificent

which makes it caress the shore

makes me think that just maybe there is hope

in the world for us to show we are happy even though we aren’t.
