Lights and Shadow
There was once a small girl
She was asleep in a simple sort of boat.
Darkness enveloped the sky around her
With the exception of the twinkling of a multitude of stars
There was no land to be seen from any angle
She was lost but surviving somehow
Watching…waiting for some sort of sign or signal
Days passed. So did weeks.
Soon months passed as well.
Some days the water was filled with tranquility.
Some days waves crashed upon her knocking her over.
Surviving somehow, she didn’t know what for.
For whatever reason, her eyes opened suddenly
The stars twinkled about her
But there was something else
A light house…a sign?…a signal?
Should she follow the light?
Or would it be better to only have the stars above?
While she pondered this thought,
The shadow of a young man appeared.
She veered at him on the shore
And wondered if he was alone as well.
