What happens when the light goes out?

What happens when the light goes out?

What happens when the light goes out
When the world goes dark
What happens when you feel the cold
Settling in your heart
When the sun goes down
When the door slams shut
When that darkness
Begins to creep in
What do you say
When you have given
All you have
When you feel like
Enough
Is never enough
How do you recoup
When your world falls apart
When your skies turn grey
Faith
Hope
Love
Burns through
The darkest nights
And the greyest storms
Have faith things will get better
Hope for a better tomorrow
Let the love
Start to pour through you
Igniting that inner spark
That was inside of you all along

Wow! you express that unique darkness that only hopelessness and despair can bring about! Yet you also express that within even the bleakest gloom, a twinkling of faith can help one to remember that the dark night is not forever, and that can lead to hope and the rekindling of the love that was there all along.
