There were many times in my life
That I felt a sense that
Life was futile.
It scares me to think
That sinking only
An inch deeper
Could have brought about
The end.
Life, like a void
That casts an empty,
cold and uninviting,
thoughts of hopelessness
life left me
uninspired.
The void of space does not allow
The sunshine
To penetrate
Its icy vastness,
But here on earth
Our atmosphere
Grabs and holds
Not just the light
But the warmth.
You allowed me
To fall
From the endless
Nothingness
Of space
Crashing down
to terra firma
where your sunshine
gave me enough heat
and illuminated
my senses,
bringing meaning
into hopelessness
and life into
death
