A Spark of Hope

Sometimes we cower in places of fear. A loving friend can provide a spark of hope to rescue us.

————

Solitude, silence, chaos, and confusion.

How could I keep my mind from explosion?

Fear powered the thumping and thrashing.

Was my brain curling and crashing?

A horrendous hypothesis of horror.

Could I traverse the tremendous terror?

I decided to delve deeply and delicately.

Would I be able to peek into private places carefully?

My true dread was being alone and deserted.

Could I survive being shut away in a tiny room, abandoned?

My next move was to reach out to my best friend.

Would you please help my broken mind to mend?

I shared my fears until my shivers were sacked.

Could my mountainous anxiety be ransacked?

A spark of hope entered the conversation.

Could we maintain our vow of mutual dedication?

Years elapsed and our bond remained strong.

How could I have known this oath would be lifelong?
