Excerpt: A Light in the Dark

It all started with a light in the dark
It shone so bright with a small glint of hope
It sang to us like the song of a lark
Though life was harsh we knew that we could cope
Alas the ocean came to sing its song
The mountains rose above the new-formed earth
A rush of life flowed in to stay for long
Upon this rush there rode the spring, the birth
New flowers in the ground began to grow
Causing small birds and bees to pollinate
Creatures began to swim in the tide's flow
But even as love made bonds, so did hate
Hope the damage caused won't make the world fall
That the wounding will cease once and for all.
