Prayer for Dawn

Short poem...There is some part in all of us that longs for an end to the darkness.

Prayer for Dawn

Standing in darkness, lost in the night,
Drawn to the candle burning bright;
Swaying and spinning, craving the light,
We grasp at a truth
That slips out of sight;
We search for a future, a single bright spark;
We long for the daytime, an end to the dark;
We cling to the candle, though fragile and small,
And hope for a morning
To dawn for us all.
