Thunder, lightening and the dark skies,
Drenching me in drops of sorrow.
Soaked to the skin and bones,
I bowed down to fate.
When a sliver of the sun cut through the black haze.
Lighting up my soul.
I know it’s short-lived.
So I try to soak in the warmth.
Stealing precious moments,
Imbibing my soul with the light exuding from you.
My little patch of sunshine.
Unreal, enigmatic and a mirage,
I defy all odds and say “So what!”
A drop of the sun’s rays is all I need.
To warm my shattered heart and recharge my weary soul.
When the light leaves me for good,
The memories will persist,
And along with it, so will I.
Daring the darkness to engulf me again,
Knowing the remnants of the sunshine in me
Will shine through
Making me Invictus yet again!
