Glimmer

I feel it on the precipice
just beyond my reach
the feeling that everything will be okay
maybe better than what i think
it’s a small glimmer of hope
that keeps me going
waking up and trying
even when my bones ache
with weariness and my mind questions
why are we still here
it's the knowledge that life can be hell
but it can also be beauty in the small moments
of smiles and belly laughs with your best friend
drinking wine in your pajama's on Friday nights
as dark as this life has been
I keep going because i know there’s also light
and it’s waiting for me to see
that it’s right around the corner
waiting for me to just turn my head in it’s direction
once again
