He held my hand,
Told me not to let go.
Then he was gone,
And I had no place to go.

I stood alone,
My eyes filled with tears.
But I will keep moving,
Till the smoke clears.

My mouth welled shut,
Nothing to say.
My spirits cut,
Lost in the wind.

I only see darkness,
And the hatred in life.
And I dream of a glint,
The blade of a knife.

But I let the blade go,
And pick up a flower.
What a beautiful thing to know,
With its beauty and all.

I see beauty,
Even in the darkness.
And that's all there is to see,
Beauty in all the world.
