To Never Have Again (Poem)

Time has come and gone away,
too much time has been lost.
Not so much has been wasted,
just forgotten and to never have again.

Darkness washes over this life,
like the night sky when the sun goes down.
Only praying that the light returns,
when it just grows darker.

Moonless, starless, darkness of night
no shadows to hide
no light to dance around in.
Suffocating, feeling the world closing in.

Feeling like forever and more time has been lost,
the light begins to show itself on the horizon.
Returning that tiny bit of hope that never faded,
trusting that the light will always return.
