A Little Bit of Sugar

"The world is quiet here."- Lemony Snicket
He walks in the bitter of night lost and all alone
Those he loves most, dead
But the stars are shining
And so he smiles
Yet his eyes tell a different story
The tears glistening,
Slide down his cheeks, silently screaming
But peace fills his soul
For tomorrow is another day
And all is not lost
He has no home, no place of belonging
And yet, it's a lesson learned
Of whom to trust and who to let go
The rain pours down
On his shivering shoulders
Clouds cover the moon, and the wind blows
He is surrounded by darkness
And so he lets out an inaudible sigh
But in the distance a solitary lamp is burning
And there she stands smiling, waiting
