There's a girl in the dark room
staring out the window
into the gray skies.
The wind stirs the tall trees
pushing them out of its way.
Her thoughts are bent on tomorrow.
What happens tomorrow?
Who will she see?
Who will she meet?
How will she accomplish
the task before her?
Emptiness and loneliness
are what she feels.
Heartache and rejection.
War and turmoil is within her soul.
The silence consumes,
the dull grayness reigns.
Who will save her?
She turns around.
Flips on the lights.
Light.
She needed light.
Is there light?
She wonders if this light
will be enough to get her through tonight.
