“A Light Ahead”

By Derek Felix AKA DFlex

All I see is darkness all around

As the warm Spring day becomes night

I can feel something like an echo in the distance

As a cooler evening allows for a calm wind

It can take you to the edge

A place you’ve never been before

As the ocean waves wash upon the shore

Playing like a drum beat as the riptide touches sand

It gives me a feeling I’ve never experienced

As if its message is to say everything’s okay

This too shall come and pass

Think of what tomorrow will bring instead

Don’t lose your head

While rolling over in your bed

On another sleepless night, you feel dead

I promise there’s a light ahead
