Promise

Darkness, shadows fall about,
Permeating all throughout.
Within our souls, within our minds –
Look within, see what it finds.

Looking close, a point of bright
Wondrous, glowing, shining light.
Small and tiny, growing slow
It comes for all the world to show.

Where has it gone, what has it been?
It once was here, now gone again.
A bright and glowing priceless treasure –
Can it be now gone forever?
