Woke up

     Too warm and in need

          Of a cool breeze.

Went to the window

     I had left the shade up.

          As I stared out into a night of diamonds.

Within seconds a brightly bit of brilliance

     Fell from the sky

         A flash of insight, innocence and hope.

Was this a stark reminder?

     Out of the fathomless darkness

          A treasured gift of hope.
