Enlightened 9/27/15
Silhouettes in a darkened room
Pondering the world’s greatest mysteries
Surrounded by nothing but nostalgic gloom
The memories of a different time cloaking their thoughts of the present
Pulling their minds into a place of the past
A place of resent
Until a beam of light shines through a cracked window
The slight breeze tugging the silhouettes of a forgotten person
Back into the now
Back into a house of hope
A home of heart
Opportunities whispering into one’s ear
Affirming the resilience that was always there
Just hidden
Until the silhouettes are no longer shadows
But actual human beings
Ready to conquer anything that may cross their path
Together
