BRIGHTER DAYS

By

Teresa A. James

he came in the night

he ravaged and he stole.

he took something precious

he damaged your soul.

a scary giant

when you were a child

he shattered a trust

and left you fragile.

he changed

your rosy dreams

to black

nightmares,

but you can reawaken

your rainbow palette

or the dreamer’s

lair.

he’s only mortal

his powers are few.

you can reclaim the life

that is waiting for you.

come, take my hand and

I’ll show you the way

to a brighter future,

a place to work and play.
