POEM STARTER

With the night comes darkness, but also stars.

Write a poem inspired by, or containing this line.

Look for the light

With the night comes darkness, but also stars

With every cry comes sadness, but also relief

With every fall comes failure, but also a lesson

In every bad thing, is a good thing hidden

Us humans focus on those bad things, since they are bigger than the good ones. As the darkness of the night is bigger than the stars. The darkness overshadows them; it makes them invisible. The stars are only visible if you look closely enough, not if you don't look for them, not if you give up after only seeing the darkness. So turn to the stars, turn to the light in the dark, to the good things in the bad ones.

Turn to the warmth of the sun during a cold winter's day

Turn to the colours of the sunset during a bad morning

Turn to lemonade, when life gives you lemons

Turn to the light, even when all you can see is the dark

Turn to the stars, when the night only offers you darkness

It's hard to look for the good things, to seek them when life denies you your vision. It's hard when the stars are too small to have a proper form. When the good things are too small to overcome the bad ones. But they are there, they are present, they are there for you to find them, waiting for you..

Look for the only flower standing on a mountain of snow

Look for a small puddle of water in a desert

Look for the start in the darkness of the night

Look for the light
