The Nightly Current

Never settle for the darkness.
It produces less and less


Of the hope sustaining twilight.
When you’re caught up in the night


Don’t head back towards the evening.
Letting go of what you cling


To, you’ll ride the nightly current,
Thus avoiding its full brunt.


Use the flow and trust the morning
Comes like winter heralds spring.


Hope lights up the pitch black night sky.
Kiss your hopelessness goodbye.


After dusk, secure your rebound.
Don’t head back, but turn around.


Use the daybreak as your beacon.
Always travel facing dawn.
