The day smiled

It smiled on all creation

In the midst of these sullen days

We had found cause

To be happy

It was a leap into the light

But everyday before we punctured that tarp of gloom

One pop at a time

Pop, pop, pop and punch

We pounced into the other side

Filled with relief and expectation

The light

Not blinding but shy

Like the blush of dawn

Or the tint of gloaming

It felt soft and quick

Like it would drain out just as we soaked it in

No matter

We knew not if this light would last

But we knew we had found a way to find it
