400 Poem Challenge (completed December 26, 10:15am)

focus

i see it so many times

the sadness and the pain

the storm clouds that often form

the wind and the rain

so many hide in the shadows

afraid to face the day

lost, they stumble blindly along

looking for someone, to show the way

its sad, but its reality

and darkness often abounds

but i say

focus on that flicker of light

no matter how small

not the darkness

that surrounds
